Suspect involved in a murder of a farmer at Groblersdal set to appear before court
A 51-year-old suspect, Tobias Moyo, who is a foreign national involved in a farm-murder at one of the farms in Groblersdal, was arrested on Sunday, 26 January 2025, at Etwatwa in Daveyton, Gauteng province, through positive information. He appeared before Groblersdal Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday, 28 January 2025, and he was remanded in custody until Monday, 03 February 2025.
Meanwhile, Fanie Sergio Makwakwa (31) still required to avail himself to the nearest police station as it is believed that he may be of assistance in solving serious cases that happened on the farm.
This is following an incident of murder, robbery with aggravating circumstances, housebreaking, unlawful possession of firearm, and ammunition that took place at a farm near Groblersdal, on 06 August 2017.
According to reports, a group of men attacked the farm owner together with his family and assaulted the farmer to death. Family members were taken to the hospital for medical treatment and were later discharged.
Among the group, four suspects were arrested, two on 06 August 2017, and another two on 08 August 2017. When they initially appeared in court on 08 August 2017, they were not given bail. However, they were eventually granted bail.
In the course of time, one of the suspects passed on when they were expected to appear before the court, and the second one was subsequently released by the court.
The case docket was eventually referred to Polokwane High Court, and the remaining suspects were given a date of 23 August 2017 for their second court appearance, but they failed to appear and absconded.
Warrants of arrest were issued against the two suspects who were supposed to appear before court, but they were nowhere to be found.
Anyone who can identify a person on the picture or with information on the whereabouts of the suspect should contact Groblersdal Detective Commander Lieutenant Colonel Edrick Mukwevho on 082 303 9927 or Detective Constable Isaac Lebyane on the number 065 907 5141, Crime Stop number 08600 10111, the nearest police station, or share information on MySAPS App.
