Maphorisa’s father was never Nigerian. Here’s why the claim is impossible:
• Maphorisa himself said his father was a policeman
• Foreigners (including Nigerians) could not join the SAPS — South African citizenship was required
• Naturalised Nigerians were virtually non-existent in apartheid South Africa in the 1980s
• There was no Nigerian community in Soshanguve or any Black township in the 1980s
• Significant Nigerian migration to South Africa only started after 1994
The “Nigerian father” story is a recent fabrication with zero evidence.
This person was shot recently, and a girl nearby was also shot but injured. She didn't die and was crying, saying it was her baby daddy who did it. The incident occurred in Bromhof, involving a silver Kia Picanto with the plates KH27WGP.
There was a serial killer in my street during my teen years in Atteridgeville, and he was targeting teenagers in the 1970s. The serial killer, John Kgabi, was arrested, convicted, sentenced to death and executed in 1980 for murdering six children. He was implicated in 8 other unresolved murders of children. The trauma of growing up knowing that the serial killer was right on your doorstep was immense. So, when I joined the police and became the provincial Head of the Hawks in Gauteng, I had a particular passion to resolve murders and to hunt down the killers - not just as a response to a childhood trauma but also because I had horned the skill to identify patterns through my studies. This became useful in the investigation of Cash in Transit robberies, drug trafficking, murders, etc. I completed MPhil in Social Science Methods at the University of Stellenbosch in 2010, and in my research I had refined a scale to measure attitude. Now, In the wake of the serial killings in Ekurhuleni, I would have taken over the dockets as the Hawks as provided for in the investigation policy on priority crimes, and would have engaged with all other agencies to work on the murder spree. I now offer my time to @SAPoliceService and @NPA_Prosecutes to assist in these investigations.
It is disappointing that people expect us not to charge for our services. If we don’t charge, how will we make ends meet? We don’t have any funding or government assistance, so how are we supposed to pay salaries and operate a business at no cost?
