POLICE ON THE HUNT FOR FOREIGN MALE WHO FATALLY STABBED HIS ALLEGED GIRLFRIEND IN SESHEGO
POLOKWANE – Police at Seshego, Capricorn District in Limpopo are searching for a Zimbabwean national male suspect who allegedly stabbed his girlfriend to death during a domestic dispute at Luthuli Phase 1, Seshego, in the Capricorn District, on Friday, 07 February 2026, at about 22:00.
The deceased is an unidentified foreigner female aged between 36 and 39 years. According to preliminary investigations, the couple reportedly became involved in a heated argument at their residence. Other tenants attempted to intervene and calm the situation.
Later during the night, the woman was heard screaming, alleging that her boyfriend had stabbed her. She reportedly managed to jump over a fence into a neighbouring yard, where she collapsed and succumbed to her injuries. She sustained multiple open stab wounds. The suspect fled the scene and is still at large.
The Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe, has strongly condemned the incident, describing the rise in gender-based violence, particularly by intimate partners, as deeply concerning.
“The increasing number of murders committed by intimate partners is alarming and unacceptable. Violence within relationships continues to destroy families and communities. Police will relentlessly pursue those responsible and ensure they face the full might of the law,” said Lieutenant General Hadebe.
A case of murder has been opened, and investigations are continuing to trace and arrest the suspect.
Anyone with information that can assist police is urged to contact the Investigating Officer, Sergeant Zachariah Mothata, on 071 646 3347, or report anonymously via the SAPS Crime Stop number 08600 10111.
