Mugabe and Co-Accused Admit Guilt in Violent Hyde Park Incident

Hlakaniphile Magadlela — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 21:37:52 +0000

Bellarmine Chatunga Mugabe and his co-accused, Tobias Tamirepi Matonhodze, have pleaded guilty to multiple charges in a case that has drawn serious attention in Johannesburg.

The pair appeared before the Alexandra Magistrates’ Court, where they admitted to the offences brought against them. Their convictions mark a significant development in the case, with sentencing proceedings now scheduled for April 24, 2026.

Mugabe pleaded guilty to violating immigration laws and pointing a firearm. Matonhodze, on the other hand, admitted to a string of charges including attempted murder, unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition, defeating the ends of justice, and breaching immigration regulations.

The charges are linked to a February 19, 2026 incident at Mugabe’s residence in Hyde Park. An altercation reportedly broke out between the accused and a security guard. The situation escalated, leading to the guard being assaulted and shot in the back as he tried to escape. He was later found outside the property by another security guard, who quickly alerted authorities.

The case has highlighted concerns around violent incidents and illegal firearm possession. Authorities say they remain focused on ensuring accountability and justice, particularly in cases involving serious harm.

LABOUR LAW ATTORNEY SHOT DEAD OUTSIDE CCMA OFFICES IN JOHANNESBURG IDENTIFIED

Philani Mzila — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 08:13:13 +0000

The labour law attorney who was shot and killed outside the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration offices in Johannesburg has been identified as Chinette Gallichan.

The 35 year old attorney from Krugersdorp was shot dead on Monday morning outside the CCMA offices at the corner of Fox and Joubert streets in the Johannesburg CBD.

According to witnesses, the incident occurred at approximately 09:00 while Gallichan was arriving for a scheduled matter at the CCMA.

At the time of her death, she was working in the labour litigation department of Sibanye Stillwater.

Eyewitnesses allege that Gallichan was representing a mining company in a dispute involving workers who had allegedly been retrenched and were seeking compensation.

It is reported that a male suspect approached her as she exited her vehicle and shot her at close range. The suspect fled the scene on foot before escaping in a waiting getaway vehicle.

Initial reports suggest the killing may have been targeted, as none of her belongings were taken.

Gallichan obtained her LLB degree from the University of South Africa and later completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Labour Law with distinction from the University of Johannesburg.

She was also active in the athletics community. She and her husband Keegan were members of the Run Zone Athletics Club in Northcliff and regularly participated in road running events, including the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon.

In 2023, she completed the marathon in a time of 4 hours 18 minutes and 57 seconds.

Her death has sent shockwaves through both the legal and athletics communities, where she was described as a dedicated professional and a familiar presence at the CCMA.

Police have opened a murder case and investigations are ongoing.

YOUNG MAN KILLED BY EXTORTIONISTS | FAMILY DEMANDS JUSTICE

MDNtv — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 04:07:17 +0000

A heartbreaking tragedy has shocked the community in Cape Town after a young man, Litha Govuza, was brutally shot and killed while waiting for food at a tuckshop.

According to reports, Govuza and his friend stopped at a small shop on February 19 while heading to a study group. Moments later, armed criminals suddenly appeared and opened fire. Govuza was shot five times in the head and later died on the way to the hospital. His friend survived but was shot twice in both legs.

The shocking incident happened in Mfuleni, where Govuza was known as a talented keyboard player at Kingdom of God Ministries International.

Witnesses say the attackers may have mistaken the two young men for another group involved in an extortion dispute targeting foreign-owned shops.

Community members and Govuza’s family are now demanding justice after the young man, who dreamed of studying at university and improving his maths, lost his life in a senseless act of violence.

A disturbing video circulating online reportedly shows the gunman stepping out of a vehicle and attempting to shoot one of the victims as terrified children watched inside the shop.

This tragic story highlights the growing concerns about crime and extortion targeting small businesses.

Watch the full report to understand what really happened and why the family is demanding justice.
