Law enforcement man appears in court for kidnapping and murder
Cape Argus
|June 11, 2025
CITY of Cape Town Law Enforcement officer Thandile Khesa, 43, appeared composed as he stepped into the dock at the Blue Downs Magistrate's Court yesterday, where he was formally charged with kidnapping and murder.
His arrest on Monday morning followed a multi-disciplinary, intelligence-led operation involving the Hawks, the Provincial Anti-Kidnapping Unit and Provincial Organised Crime detectives.
State prosecutor, Litha Duka, told the court that Khesa allegedly used a marked City of Cape Town Law Enforcement vehicle to transport the victim from Bellville to the location where he was assaulted.
The victim later died in hospital as a result of his injuries.
CCTV footage allegedly captured the movement of the official vehicle from Bellville to Khayelitsha.
Khesa has been added as the fifth accused in the case, joining Mogamat Samuels, Thokozani Kamnjunga, Existing Mudivari, and Yasseen Jele.
