Police arrest suspect for Ivory Park treasurer's murder

Police have arrested a suspect in connection with the murder of the Ivory Park Taxi Association treasurer, Lefa Matemane, who was fatally shot in Midrand. The arrest followed Matemane's shooting on Wednesday at a Shell filling station, where he was declared dead. The motive for the killing remains under investigation, though the association had recently held a fractious annual general meeting. This incident highlights ongoing taxi violence, with previous killings within the association and across the region, including recent incidents in Katlehong, Diepkloof, and Mapobane.
