Bondo Rammusi, Sibusiso Moloi and Thabang Mohlale were arrested in August last year at the Doornkop Police Station in Soweto in Johannesburg after they were identified by the victim.

Hlongwane was at the police station to open a case and submit required documents when he recognised the suspects.

According to Jozi FM on 20 August 2025, one of the suspects requested a trip from Cresta Shopping Centre to Dobsonville Extension 3.

Upon arrival at the destination, one of the occupants seated in the back allegedly strangled Hlongwane, while the other suspects appeared.

The suspects then drove with him to a nearby shopping centre where they forced him to withdraw money from his bank account.

They later blindfolded him and drove around with him. The following day, he was dropped off in Lenasia, where a Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department officer assisted him.

The case will continue in April, and the initial suspect who made the trip request remains at large.

Meanwhile, human skeleton remains were recovered at a construction site in Naledi, Soweto after workers excavating old water pipes made the discovery.

Divers from the Johannesburg Water Policing and Diving Services were deployed to the scene.

The remains were found in ankle-deep water at Naledi Camp 2.

The recovered remains were handed over to detectives from the South African Police Service at the scene.

Raymond Sambo, Media Liaison Officer for Rapid Response Services said:

“Police have opened an inquest docket as investigations continue.”

Authorities are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the incident or who has information to contact their nearest police station or Crime Stop on 08600 10111.

According to the city’s water utility, the Commando System — which supplies several suburbs — is struggling to keep up. Reservoirs in Crosby, Brixton, and Hursthill are operating under strain, with some areas already experiencing little to no water.

The Crosby reservoir is still providing supply but at reduced levels, and it has been redirected to support neighbouring Brixton and Hursthill. Pumping at Brixton has weakened, leaving high-lying areas hardest hit with very low pressure.

In Hursthill, one reservoir remains bypassed while leak repairs are underway. Although the second reservoir has shown slight improvement, high demand is keeping pressure extremely low.

Residents are being urged to use water sparingly as teams continue working to stabilise the system.
