The Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) welcomes the arrest of two suspects linked to the brutal murder of our beloved Member of Parliament, Honourable Khethamabala Sithole. We commend the South African Police Service (SAPS) and the task team assigned to the case for the swift progress made since the tragic incident on 31 May 2025.
We are encouraged by the announcement from the Office of the Provincial Commissioner in Gauteng regarding the breakthrough in this case, and we continue to place our trust in the justice system to ensure that all those involved — not just the two suspects arrested — are brought to book. We further urge the SAPS to leave no stone unturned in uncovering the full truth behind this assassination.
The IFP remains committed to peace, justice, and the rule of law. We support the continued efforts of the SAPS in this matter and hope this marks the beginning of justice for Hon. Sithole and his family.
