Brutally murdered Machaka Radebe's mother passes away

Brutally murdered Machaka Radebe's mother passes away

Written by Abigail Visagie 


The mother of 16-year-old Machaka Radebe, who was kidnapped and brutally murdered in December 2023, has passed away.
Allegations suggest that Selloane Radebe collapsed during a funeral she attended in Welkom. The Brebner High School pupil was reported missing on 2 December 2023 by her family after her phone was answered by a stranger who demanded ransom in exchange for Machaka’s life.
A passerby contacted the Bloemspruit Police Station after discovering a lifeless body in Phase 9, Bloemfontein, with multiple stab wounds. The police then confirmed on 4 December 2023 that it is indeed Machaka’s body.
Initially, two suspects were arrested, but the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) withdrew charges of kidnapping and murder against one of the suspects, Ntlantla Jozi, after insufficient evidence against him was found.
The case is still ongoing.
