POTCHEFSTROOM — Police in the North West have arrested two suspects in connection with the murder of Kgotso Mogale Rasebitsi (30) in Mosiane View, Mahikeng.

In a statement issued on Sunday, 8 February 2026, the Acting Provincial Commissioner, Major General (Dr) Ryno Naidoo, praised officers for what he described as swift action that led to the arrests.

According to SAPS, members of the Mahikeng Public Order Police (POP) were on patrol on Saturday morning, 7 February 2026, when they received reports of a fight in the area. Officers responded and found men sitting under a tree at the corner of Kubu and Mosese streets.
