In Polokwane, the shooting of a nine-year-old girl in Juju Valley has prompted police to question Mayor John Mpe. Limpopo Police Commissioner Thembi Hadebe confirmed the inquiry following an altercation between ANC and EFF supporters that escalated into violence a few weeks ago. The incident led to the arrest of at least two individuals, including Jossey Buthane—a former provincial chairman of the EFF, now affiliated with the ANC—on charges of possessing an unlicensed firearm and attempted murder. Discussions regarding this incident, including its broader implications, were held between eNCA’s Moloko Moloto and outgoing Limpopo Prime Minister Chupu Stanley Mathabatha. The mayor has claimed that the violence is a result of sabotage. The community remains tense as investigations continue.
