In a major breakthrough, the South African Police Service (SAPS) has seized the Volkswagen Polo believed to have been used in the murder of 30-year-old Olorato Mongale. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The vehicle was recovered at a panel beater workshop in Phoenix, Durban, following an intensive investigation led by SAPS\u2019 National Crime Intelligence Unit and its specialist Anti-Kidnapping Task Team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The high-stakes operation began when investigators tracked two suspects to a lodge in Kew, Johannesburg. Acting swiftly on new intelligence, officers later raided a residence in KwaMashu, Durban, before locating the vehicle in Phoenix. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Forensic examination has confirmed the presence of blood inside the car, reinforcing suspicions of its involvement in the gruesome crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An elderly man, believed to be the registered owner of the vehicle, has been arrested. However, the two prime suspects in the murder remain at large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The SAPS has launched an urgent manhunt for Fezile Ngubane and Philangenkosi Sibongokuhle Makhanya, who are wanted in connection with Mongale\u2019s murder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Authorities describe the pair as armed, dangerous, and highly volatile, warning the public not to approach them under any circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThese men are extremely dangerous. If you see them, do not engage. Immediately call Brigadier Nama at +27 (82) 778-9035,\u201d the police urged in an official statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The National Commissioner of Police, General Fannie Masemola, commended the combined efforts of the Gauteng Provincial Investigation Unit (PIU), the DPCI KwaZulu-Natal Tracking Team, Durban Metro Police K-9 Unit, and private security partners for their support in the ongoing investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The SAPS is urging members of the public and media outlets to widely circulate the suspects\u2019 photographs to aid in their swift capture.\u201cTo the suspects: We are closing in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Turn yourselves in at your nearest police station before it\u2019s too late,\u201d said General Masemola.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a developing story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
