A 50-YEAR-OLD FARM OWNER ARRESTED FOR ASSAULT GBH FOLLOWING TRESPASSING INCIDENT IN MOOKGOPHONG PRECINCT
The Police in Mookgophong, Waterberg district have arrested a 50-year-old farm owner in connection with an assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm (GBH), while investigations are continuing into the circumstances surrounding the death of a male victim.
On Monday, 09 November 2026 at about 23:30, two males from Phomolong Section under the Mookgophong policing area allegedly trespassed at a local farm with the intention of fishing.
While on the farm, the farm owner together with his son allegedly discovered the two males and chased after them. They managed to apprehend one male victim whom they allegedly assaulted.
The other male reportedly fled in a different direction and later returned to his residence and informed the victim’s family about what had transpired at the farm, and stated that he did not know the whereabouts of his friend.
Community members became angered by the incident and blocked the road demanding answers regarding the whereabouts of the second male. Police addressed the community and informed them that the Dog Unit (K9) had been summoned to assist with the search operation.
K9 Unit and Public Order Policing (POPS) members arrived at the scene and as police were about to commence with the search operation, they received a telephone call from a hospital informing them that a male victim had been brought to the hospital by an unknown male.
The victim was allegedly reported to have been hit by a motor vehicle and subsequently passed away. The description of the deceased matched that of the person reported missing and the search operation was subsequently called off. A case of inquest was opened at the local police station.
Furthermore, on Wednesday, 11 November 2026, a 50-year-old farm owner was arrested in connection with a case of assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm (Assault GBH).
Currently, investigations are ongoing regarding the circumstances surrounding the victim's death.
The suspect is today, 12 November 2026, appearing before the Mookgophong Magistrate's Court, facing a charge of assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
Police investigations are continuing.

Former senior IDAC prosecutor Santhos Manilall joins private law firm CDH.
Advocate Santhos Manilall, who resigned from the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) last month, has joined Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr (CDH).
Manilall was the Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions at the Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC).
He was leading the controversial Medicare24 corruption prosecution involving Vusi “Cat” Matlala and 14 others.
His name also featured in evidence presented by IDAC prosecutor Drushantha Ramsamy at the Madlanga Commission. She alleged that she had raised concerns about the Crime Intelligence and Project Diversion investigations with Manilall, but that he failed to act on her warnings.
His move to the private sector comes amid continued scrutiny of IDAC and its handling of high-profile investigations and prosecutions.
CDH says Manilall brings more than 30 years of legal experience, including over 20 years in forensic investigations and dispute services.
