Police in Malamulele in Limpopo arrested a 15-year-old boy and his 37-year-old male relative for the  possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition on Thursday in Mahonisi Village, within the local policing area in Vhembe District.

The arrests followed an incident at a local high school where police were summoned after three live rounds of ammunition were confiscated from a 15-year-old learner on the school premises.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the ammunition belonged to an adult relative of the learner.

Police proceeded to the learner’s residence, where the 37-year-old relative was found. Further investigations led to the recovery of additional ammunition (39 rounds), a firearm concealed in a holster, a magazine, and empty cartridges hidden at various locations in nearby bushes.

The adult suspect was arrested and charged with possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition.

He is expected to appear before the Malamulele Magistrate’s Court on Monday, 09 February 2026.

The matter against the minor was dealt with in accordance with the Child Justice Act.

The Provincial Commissioner of the South African Police Service in Limpopo, Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe, commended the prompt action by police and school authorities.

“I reiterate that illegal possession of firearms and ammunition, particularly where children are involved, will not be tolerated, as it poses a serious threat to the safety of communities and schools,” she said.

The incident unfolded in the early hours of New Year’s Day, around 2 a.m., when the man returned home apparently under the influence of alcohol. He reportedly found his 55-year-old wife chatting with a neighbor and quickly started quarreling with her.

Things escalated when the couple’s two sons aged 17 and 20 stepped in to calm the situation. That’s when the father allegedly drew his licensed firearm and opened fire.

The younger son was struck in the head and sadly passed away at the scene, despite paramedics’ efforts. His brother was shot in the hand, while the mother suffered a gunshot wound to her thigh. Both are receiving treatment.

The man fled on foot right after the shots rang out, sparking an immediate police search. Officers tracked him down later that morning, around 11:30, hiding in a nearby primary school.

During the arrest, he allegedly pointed the gun at police, prompting officers to shoot him in the hand in self-defense. He’s now hospitalized under police watch and will face charges including murder, three counts of attempted murder, and pointing a firearm.

Limpopo’s acting police commissioner, Major General Jan Scheepers, condemned the violence, highlighting concerns over gender-based issues in the province. He urged people struggling with relationship problems to seek counseling instead of turning to aggression.

The man is set to appear in the Seshego Magistrate’s Court soon, though possibly in absentia while he recovers. Investigations continue.
