đź’Ą Ekurhuleni Anti-Corruption Chief Assassinated in Suspected Hit
Mpho Mafole, head of forensic audits at the City of Ekurhuleni, was gunned down in his vehicle on Tuesday evening while driving along the R23 in Kempton Park.
Mafole, 47, had only joined the municipality three months ago to lead anti-corruption investigations. He was found shot multiple times inside his car.
The motive remains unknown, but speculation is rife that his high-profile work exposing financial irregularities may have made him a target.
The City called his death a major loss, describing him as a man of integrity and transparency. Police are urging anyone with information to come forward.
