The National Commissioner of the South African Police Service (SAPS), General Fannie Masemola, has confirmed that the police have found human remains in an open veld in the KwaMhlanga area in Mpumalanga.
Police spokesperson, Brigadier Athlenda Mathe, said DNA testing will be conducted to ascertain if they belong to missing Pretoria-based journalist and his partner.
“The area where the remains were found was pointed out by suspects as an area where they left the pair,” said Mathe on Thursday.
The couple had been missing since 18 February 2025.
On Sunday, a cross-province operation involving Gauteng and Mpumalanga police -- led by the Deputy National Commissioner of Crime Detection, Lieutenant General Shadrack Sibiya and the Acting Provincial Commissioner of Mpumalanga, Major General Zeph MKhwanazi -- led to the questioning and subsequent arrests of four suspects.
