A joint operation between the Welkom Anti-Gang Unit and members from Reddersburg SAPS has led to the successful arrest of a suspect wanted for murder.

On Friday, 14 February, members of the Welkom Anti-Gang Unit were conducting crime-combating duties in Thabong when they responded to a murder scene in the Katleho Section of this township Thabong. Preliminary reports indicated that a known suspect had allegedly stabbed Tshediso Ishmael Mosenohi (47) multiple times in the neck after an argument, resulting in the victim’s death at the scene. The suspect fled the scene.

As members of the Anti-Gang Unit concluded their shift on Saturday, 15 February 2025 they relayed critical information regarding the suspect to the next shift.

The team immediately activated their informants, who later confirmed that the suspect had fled to Reddersburg, near Bloemfontein.

On Sunday, 16 February at around 14:00, members of the Welkom Anti-Gang Unit received confirmation of the suspect’s exact location in Reddersburg. With the necessary authority, the team departed to Reddersburg.

Upon arrival, an off-duty Reddersburg CSC member confirmed that the suspect was in a vehicle travelling from Matoporong to the Reddersburg CBD.

Working in collaboration with on-duty Reddersburg CSC members, the team successfully intercepted the vehicle and found the suspect inside. He was immediately arrested for murder.
