Mpumalanga man accused of killing nurse girlfriend denied bail
A man accused of killing his girlfriend, Nomvula Octavia Happy Sambo (57), on Thursday was denied bail by the Masoyi Periodical Court in Mpumalanga, yesterday. According to Mpumalanga News, Louis Masuku (50) will again appear in court on July 10 on a charge of murder. Masoyi Police Station spokesperson Sergeant Nanikie Nonyane said Masuku had an argument with Sambo. She was shot and killed, allegedly by him. She was a nurse at the Manzini Clinic. According to reports, Masuku believed his girlfriend, with who he lived, was having an affair with another man. 'Sambo ran out of the house into the neighbour's house. Masuku followed her and allegedly fired several shots. One hit her in the head and she was confirmed dead at the scene,' Nonyane said. The acting Mpumalanga police commissioner, Major General Dr Zeph Mkhwanazi, has welcomed the arrest and condemned the continued violence against women. 'We cannot allow this to become normal. Women should feel safe, especially in their own homes and relationships. I urge anyone facing difficulties in their relationships to seek help from professionals or relevant support structures before it ends in tragedy,' said Mkhwanazi.

Former Kruger National Park ranger and accomplice nabbed for illegal hunting
Former Kruger National Park ranger and accomplice nabbed for illegal hunting Two men, a former South African National Parks (SANParks) corporal ranger and a known crime offender, appeared in the Masoyi Periodical Court in Mpumalanga yesterday on charges of hunting and trespassing. Mpumalanga News reports that the case was postponed to Thursday for a formal bail application. Alfred Khosa (59) and Kenneth Ntimane (37) were arrested in Skukuza on Sunday. According to provincial police spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Jabu Ndubane, the arrests were made after field rangers discovered the tracks of four people, and initiated a search in Block 19 in the Skukuza area of the Kruger National Park. Ndubane says the rangers pursued the suspects and apprehended two, but the other two escaped. The arrested suspects were found in possession of an impala head, a dead warthog and seven snares. Ndubane says they failed to produce a valid hunting permit. 'The former ranger had previously worked in the park. He was dismissed in 2021 for conspiracy to commit a crime, which is a matter still being heard in the Skukuza Regional Court. At the time of his arrest, he was found wearing a Kruger ranger's uniform,' she says. The police have, however, not ruled out the possibility of adding further charges.
