“Deceased” journalist: Contact amagata if you spot them!

THE South African Police Service (SAPS) is calling on Thato David Madisha (24) and Sello “Skhalo” Uoane to hand themselves over to their nearest police station.

The two suspects are wanted in KwaMhlanga, Mpumalanga in connection with the case of journalist, Aserie Ndlovu and his partner Zodwa Mdluli.

National police spokeswoman Brigadier Athlenda Mathe said Madisha and Uoane are wanted suspects in the case of murdered journalist Aserie Ndlovu and his partner Zodwa Mdluli.

“Police believe the pair may have played a role or have information on the alleged kidnapping and killing of the couple,” she said.

Mathe said while tracking teams are on the ground searching for the pair, they would like to advise the two suspects to voluntarily hand themselves over.

This after police discovered two skeletal remains in a bush in Rust de Winter, Limpopo, on 8 May 2025, suspected to belong to the couple who have been missing from 18 February 2025.

Communities who may know their whereabouts or have any information are advised to contact the nearest police.

The pair’s remains were found in a state of decomposition and identified by the forensic team, confirming the tragic loss.

Police have recently arrested five suspects, three of whom have already appeared in court.
