Last month, police in Limpopo launched a kidnapping and murder investigation following the death of a 26-year-old woman in Thabakhubedu Village. The victim was abducted by two armed men who broke into her home while her boyfriend was away. After hearing a single gunshot, her body was discovered near the Ntwane soccer ground the following morning with multiple gunshot wounds to her upper body. The motive for this crime remains unknown, and police investigations are currently underway.
