Sibongile Dlamini, the wife of murdered South African police officer Constable Banele Sikhosana, was arrested for allegedly hiring hitmen to kill him. Her arrest came just hours after she was seen weeping at his burial.

Constable Sikhosana, an officer with the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department (EMPD), was fatally shot on February 7, 2025, while opening his tuck shop in Rest, Kwa-Thema, Ekurhuleni. The gunmen also took his service pistol.

Authorities later arrested Nhlizitozabantu Magwanyana at the Kwa-Thema Hostel. During interrogation, Magwanyana confessed to carrying out the killing and claimed he was hired by Sikhosana’s wife, with the final payment allegedly made shortly after the murder.

Acting EMPD chief of police Julius Mkhwanazi confirmed that one more suspect remains at large, though an arrest is expected soon.

Investigators also revealed that this was not the first attempt on Sikhosana’s life. Reports indicate that Dlamini had allegedly tried to poison him just a week before the fatal shooting. Sikhosana was on sick leave recovering from the suspected poisoning when he was gunned down.

A memorial service for the fallen officer was held at his home on Thursday, February 13. However, on Friday afternoon, February 14, while preparing for his funeral, Dlamini was taken into custody by police. Sikhosana’s funeral proceeded as planned on Saturday, February 15.

The arrested suspects are expected to appear in the Springs Magistrate’s Court on Monday to face charges related to the officer’s murder.

Meanwhile, social media has been abuzz with reactions after a photo surfaced showing that the deceased had paid Dlamini’s bride price in December 2024, just months before his tragic demise.

Authorities continue to investigate the case, with many shocked by the alleged betrayal that has come to light.

Stop generalizing. Not all women are bad. Your first comment was bad.

South Africans with no sense before. This is no news. It’s part of them.

☠

Rest in peace to the deceased.

Fear women

Believe a woman, at your own peril

Fake news

God will grant us the wisdom not to use our hands to draw a killer close to us.

Na Dem

I wonder what made him stay after the attempted poisoning.

Don't be deceived. Her tears were tears of joy.

You don't need to fast and pray against Satan with this kind of woman in your life. Because you're already bound to the devil as your wife.

What kinda stupid names are these?! Please remove those nonsense sa news from my sight

Fear that gender, end time gender from the pit of hell

When it comes to women, never brush off the warning signs from Ur inner man no matter how subtle and harmless it may seem at the time. It's not Ur imagination it's a warning ⚠️

Women

Execute her!

I am sure this guy saw the signs but e ignore it. So the lesson here is Never ignore a warning sign all is not well when it comes to a woman even when she is your wife

If you check well, he must have catch her cheating then forgave her

Women

Lol

Lesson: Don't trust that woman in your house now.
