Warrant of arrest for suspect in Transnet tender murder
The police have issued a warrant of arrest for Lucky Boitumelo Molefe, who is wanted in connection with the murder of engineer Armard Swart.
The 30-year-old was an employee at Q Tech Engineering Company based in Vereeniging.
He was shot and killed while seated in his car outside his workplace by two gunmen in April 2024.
The suspects allegedly killed Swart after he blew the whistle about fraud and corruption linked to a Transnet tender.
Four suspects have since been arrested, including the alleged mastermind.
Their case has been postponed for trial and is expected to be heard in the High Court in August 2025.
"Molefe from Johannesburg has been in hiding since December 2024, and police have been searching for him. He is warned to hand himself over at the nearest police station," said national police spokesperson Vincent Mukhathi.
