KZN, 23 September 2025; The National Commissioner of the South African Police Service(SAPS), General Fannie Masemola welcomes the double life sentence handed down by the Pietermaritzburg High Court to hitman Sabelo Phewa.

Sabelo Phewa was convicted of the murder of Sibusiso Sithole who was a Municipal Manager for the Richmond Local municipality.

Sithole was shot and killed at the Richmond Licensing office in 2017 while on his way to attend a meeting with the then council to discuss issues he was investigating.

He was at the time investigating fraud and corruption involving tenders and kickbacks in the municipality.

The SAPS Political Killings task team took over investigations in 2018 and this led to the arrest of Sabelo Phewa. The firearm found in his possession at the time of his arrest was found to be linked to several other murders including that of Amos Ngcobo whose wife had ordered his hit. The wife turned state witness and was sentenced to five years imprisonment.

Today, Sabelo Phewa was sentenced as follows:

▶️Murder of Municipal Manager Sibusiso Sithole - Life Imprisonment

▶️Murder of Amos Ngcobo - Life Imprisonment

▶️Attempted murder of police officers at the time when they were effecting his arrest - 5 years imprisonment

▶️Possession of an unlicensed firearm - 15 years imprisonment

▶️Unlawful possession of ammunition - 5 years imprisonment

“Well done to the SAPS political killings task team for cracking this case and ensuring a lengthy conviction for the hitman. Through this case, we were able to link and solve other cases such as the murder of Amos Ngcobo. The number of life sentences secured by the task team is now more than 30 life sentences secured for several hitmen and hit orderers. Well done and may you continue to provide answers and closure to other families “, concluded Gen Fannie Masemola .

The South African Police Service has issued the following warning about

POLICE CAUTION PUBLIC ABOUT VISHING SCAM MISUSING SAPS NAME AND INSIGNIA

Pretoria, 23 September 2025; The South African Police Service (SAPS) is cautioning community members about a vishing scam in which criminals misuse the SAPS name and insignia to deceive unsuspecting citizens into handing over money or disclosing personal information.

Fake letters are distributed, often via WhatsApp, that bear the SAPS logo and the names of real senior officers and police stations to appear credible.

In some instances, the alleged fraudsters fabricate non-existent police stations in their fraudulent correspondence. The SAPS can confirm that no police station exists in Green Point, Cape Town.

In many cases, victims also receive intimidating phone calls from individuals posing as police officials, falsely claiming that a criminal case has been opened against them. Victims are then pressured to “pay” a fee to make the case disappear.

The SAPS reminds community members that the organisation will never:

▶️ Demand payment to cancel or withdraw a case

▶️ Communicate with the public via WhatsApp or video calls

Safety precautions:

▶️ Do not respond to suspicious calls, letters, or messages
▶️ Do not share or confirm personal details such as ID numbers, addresses, or banking details
▶️ Do not pay money to anyone claiming to be a police officer in exchange for canceling a case

Anyone with information that may assist in tracing and locating those involved in the scam is urged to contact their nearest police station, call Crime Stop on 08600 10111, or leave an anonymous tip-off via the MySAPS App.
