Police arrested Tendai Mafunya, a 59-year-old Zimbabwean domestic worker, in Pretoria after finding weapons and vehicles connected to the murder of a highway patrol officer. Officers took her to Lyttleton police station, where she remains under guard. The arrest happened because several police teams worked together, including CI Tshwane District, Gauteng Highway, Gauteng DPCI, and Vision Tactical members. These officers followed an important tip leading them to a house in the Ecopark Estate area of Centurion.
At this house, the police team discovered dangerous weapons, including magazines for an AK-47 rifle, a 9mm pistol, and several two-way radios. They also found two cell phones and three different vehicles - a silver-grey Kia Sorento with fake license plates, a blue BMW, and a Polo GTI. All these items helped police make major progress in their case. The investigation started when officers received information about four people who might be involved during an early briefing.
As police asked more questions, Mafunya told them something very important about who actually possessed the property. She admitted that Nkosinathi George Manuse was behind everything. He was already one of the main suspects in the case. This confession from Mafunya gave police exactly what they needed to move forward with their case against the people responsible for killing the highway patrol officer.
The arrest of Mafunya represents a big breakthrough for the police investigation. Her information connects the other suspects directly to the crime scene evidence. Detectives consider this development extremely valuable as they continue building their case around the murder of the Gauteng Highway Patrol SAPS member. The investigation continues as police search for the remaining suspects identified through earlier tips.
