Man linked to body found in shallow grave
'We can confirm that a 43-year-old man was arrested just before 11am in Park Drive on a charge of murder,' police spokesperson Captain Andre Beetge said on Thursday.
The Nelson Mandela Bay Intervention Task Team found the body on Monday.
The police initially went to the scene on Sunday night but due to poor visibility they returned the next morning.
A witness at the scene told police the victim had been killed about four weeks earlier.
Detective Constable Ridwaan Baatjies acted quickly on information from an informer, tracking the suspect to Park Drive, St George's Park, on Thursday.
The suspect was arrested and later positively identified by the witness.
The man has been detained at the Humewood police station and is expected to appear in court soon.

Did Mkhwanazi cross the line by going public with SAPS concerns?
KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi has sparked a national debate after publicly raising concern about political interference in the SAPS. During a media briefing on Sunday, Mkhwanazi suggested senior political figures were influencing police decisions, a claim that drew sharp responses and praise in equal measure. President Cyril Ramaphosa, attending the Brics summit in Brazil, called the matter a 'grave national security concern' and urged police leaders to show 'discipline and restraint' amid the fallout. He warned 'the trading of accusations and counteraccusations threatens to undermine public confidence' in the SAPS. Some see Mkhwanazi as a whistle-blower exposing rot in the system. Others say he stepped out of line and should have handled the matter internally.

Police top brass in public fallout: Who are the key figures?
Divisions between police in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng and allegations of political interference in investigations have placed the spotlight on three of the most powerful positions in law enforcement in South Africa. KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi on Sunday blamed police minister Senzo Mchunu for the dissolution of the political killings task team after the team had uncovered a drug cartel in Gauteng allegedly involving senior police officers, politicians, prosecutors and members of the judiciary. He also accused national deputy police commissioner responsible for detectives Lt-Gen Shadrack Sibiya of withdrawing all case dockets from the team and transferring them to his office, where he claimed they have gathered dust. Mchunu, when he announced the disbandment of the political task team in January, said it was no longer needed. In 2023, then police minister Bheki Cele said the task team had since its inception in July 2018, investigated 321 dockets including 155 cases of murder and 51 of attempted murder. There had been 348 arrests which had led to 62 suspects being convicted, and 155 still going through the court processes. Snapshot of the key figures: Senzo Mchunu Mchunu is seen as a key ally of President Cyril Ramaphosa after the former staunch supporter of Jacob Zuma spoke out against state capture and endorsed the CR17 election campaign. He became minister of police in July 2024. He previously served in the cabinet as minister of water and sanitation and of public service and administration. He worked as a high school teacher in Nquthu and in Eshowe before going into politics full-time in 1991. He served in various provincial ANC structures in the province and was KwaZulu-Natal premier between 2013 and 2016. An alumnus of the University of Zululand and Unisa, he has a BA degree in education and international relations. On July 4, Mchunu told parliament during his budget debate speech that he intended to ensure a clean-run police service. 'We are addressing internal matters that directly affect the functioning and credibility of the SAPS. We take this opportunity to confirm the recent arrests of senior officials in crime intelligence after the investigations by the inspector-general for intelligence and the Investigating Directorate Against Corruption. As the ministry, we have taken a defined stance against corruption within the SAPS and we unequivocally state that there is no tolerance for corruption within the SAPS,' he pronounced. This followed the arrest of seven senior officials, including the divisional commissioner for crime intelligence, Lt-Gen Dumisani Khumalo, on charges relating to alleged corruption. On Sunday, Mchunu said the allegations made against him by Mkhwanazi were baseless. His team would review the statements and consider appropriate action. Nhlanhla Sibusiso Mkhwanazi He became a student constable in 1993 and rose through the ranks to become a lieutenant-general in 2011. He holds a BTech degree in policing and a national diploma in police administration. Before being appointed to his role as the top cop in KwaZulu-Natal, he was head of the special task force, and a divisional commissioner of both human resource development and of operational response services. His team has come under criticism for the number of shootings between officers and suspects. Mkhwanazi initially got the job as acting provincial commissioner in 2018 from then national SAPS boss Khehla Sitole, who was booted out by Ramaphosa after a public spat with Cele. In April, Mchunu denied he was aware of an Independent Police Investigative Directorate probe into Mkhwanazi in relation to allegations of interference in the 2023 arrest of a correctional services official. Ipid cleared Mkhwanazi of any wrongdoing. Mkhwanazi hinted in March that there was tension between him and Mchunu. He also told MPs he had been told there was an internal campaign against him, but he had no intention of competing for the job as head of the Hawks when his contract ended in 2026. There was, however, speculation that Mkhwanazi was interested in the position of national commissioner as Gen Fannie Masemola is due to retire soon. Shadrack Sibiya National police commissioner Masemola announced in mid-2023 that he had appointed then major-general Shadrack Sibiya to the position of deputy national commissioner of crime detection, promoting him to the rank of lieutenant-general. This was intended to strengthen investigative capacity within the police, the commissioner said. He had rejoined the police as head of operations the previous year. Sibiya started his career as a student constable in 1989 at the Hammanskraal SAPS Academy and in the Knysna detectives unit. He rose in the ranks to become a former head of the Hawks in Gauteng. Sibiya controversially lost this job over allegations of being involved in the unlawful rendition in 2010 of Zimbabweans wanted in that country for the murder of a police officer. He was cleared of this, with the move against him deemed a political conspiracy. At his disciplinary inquiry, he testified he had been the victim of a conspiracy to remove him from office, because of his attempts to prosecute the head of crime intelligence at the time, Lt-Gen Richard Mdluli, on fraud and corruption-related charges. Mdluli's case is still being heard in the courts. Sibiya also served as head of group forensics and investigation services for the City of Johannesburg and won a court case ordering his reinstatement after a disproved assertion that his unit was spying on councillors. He has stated publicly that he is interested in becoming the national head of the Hawks, since last month's retirement of Lt-Gen Godfrey Lebeya. Sibiya told the SABC the allegations against him are false and criticised Mkhwenazi's conduct. 'There are processes to follow where there is such a situation or when you feel you are not being heard. 'I need to consult with my legal team. I will respond and I will prove to you that what Gen Mkhwanazi is saying is absolutely not true. 'If he has any proof, I give him permission to show the evidence that he is talking about to the media or to any other person he can trust.' TimesLIVE

Selby Mbenenge says car tracker shows he was not at high court during alleged flashing incident
Eastern Cape judge president, Selby Mbenenge. (Judges Matter) Eastern Cape Judge President Selby Mbenenge finally took the stand on Monday in a months-long tribunal on sexual harassment allegations against him, saying his car tracker showed he had attended a judicial staff meeting, gone to the bank and delivered a lecture on the day Andiswa Mengo accuses him of Mbenenge began his testimony by refuting the claim that he exposed himself to Mengo, calling the allegation 'lies' and 'malicious' and saying it was part of a concerted campaign to discredit him. 'It is lies, it never happened,' said Mbenenge, denying the alleged 15 November 2021 incident. 'From the time I arrived in my chambers around 9am, until I left around noon, I had no interactions whatsoever with Ms Mengo.' On the day, Mbenenge said he had attended a judicial staff meeting in the morning, gone to the bank, delivered a lecture to students and gone to court. With regards to the allegations of impropriety, Mbenenge said he did not believe there was anything wrong with engaging in a romantic relationship with a junior colleague, stating he was neither her supervisor nor her employer. 'I am a member of the judiciary. The complainant is a member of the executive. She is employed in terms of the Public Service Act. I am not her supervisor,' he told the tribunal, headed by former Gauteng judge president Bernard Ngoepe. Mbenenge also 'Today, the evidence leader has the audacity — with due respect to her — to say that, among other things, I am being charged with ridiculing the complainant,' Mbenenge said, referring to the tribunal's evidence leader Salome Scheepers. He maintained that, as judge president, he is tasked with upholding professional standards, including the dress code of legal professionals. The judge president also rejected Mengo's claim that she was the last person to leave his chambers on the day of the alleged incident, citing the court sign-out register, which shows that his then secretary, Zintle Nkqayi, signed out after Mengo. Mbenenge's defence counsel, Muzi Sikhakhane, outlined four themes for cross-examination for the last week of the tribunal: Mbenenge's personal history and career; the alleged incident of 15 November; the alleged photos of his private parts and flirtatious messages exchanged via WhatsApp. He was surprised that the tribunal included allegations of 'incapacity' and 'gross incompetence', which he described as vague and unjustified. Appointed as judge president in 2017, Mbenenge told the tribunal that he has written 13 reported judgments as a high court judge and six as judge president. Sikhakhane said Mbenenge's record was not presented to boast, but to refute claims of incapacity and incompetence, which had nothing to do with the other charges. Mbenenge said he had introduced a uniform judicial case flow management system in the Eastern Cape high court, which reduced backlogs, as part of his successes. He also described challenges faced during his tenure, including a 2020 incident when a court judgment was published by the Daily Dispatch before being handed down. He said he had confronted a colleague whose spouse worked at the media house. Mbenenge also cited resistance from some residents when the names of Port Elizabeth and Grahamstown were changed to Gqeberha and Makhanda, respectively. Sikhakhane asked Mbenenge about recent media portrayals of him as a 'sexist judge', suggesting he had become invisible in the judiciary because of the allegations. Mbenenge said he had endured public humiliation and felt presumed guilty before due process had run its course. 'I have appointed females to act in my division. I have encouraged secretaries to study law,' he said, arguing that the notion that he views women as objects 'has no factual basis'. He added: 'I see women as persons who can engage in whatever form of relationship. What is important for them is to be treated as persons.' Asked about 'It is indeed true that it came to pass that I became interested in relating with the complainant and I do not believe that was wrong,' he said. 'Flirtation is a playful way of interacting with someone you are interested in having a relationship with.' Addressing allegations that he had interfered in administrative matters to benefit himself, Mbenenge said he had no role in the hiring of court secretaries and that accusations of 'swapping secretaries' were false. He said he had chosen to shield his family from the tribunal to protect their privacy. 'I saw myself as someone who was presumed guilty until proven innocent. That is the story of my life,' he told the tribunal. Mbenenge suggested that a media campaign proposing that he 'step down' as Eastern Cape judge president had been waged against him and that he had been unfairly criticised for continuing to preside over matters, despite the ongoing tribunal. 'I was viewed as an immoral person, even while due process was still in motion,' he said.
