Officials commented on the matter. Dube was shot multiple times at her home in Wallmannsthal, Tshwane, on June 13, 2026. This latest incident follows an earlier attempt on her life in March 2026, where she was allegedly shot 11 times and spent several weeks in intensive care.
The arrest comes as a significant development in the investigation into Dube’s murder. Monicca Dube, a prominent member of the EFF, was a target for potential political adversaries or those who opposed her activism.
The EFF and its leader, Julius Malema, have called for a thorough investigation into her murder.
According to reports, Mahlangu, the alleged hitman, appeared in court for Dube’s murder on Thursday.
The EFF Gauteng branch has welcomed the arrest and plans to attend the first court appearance.
The EFF has also expressed concern over the incident, with posters of Dube being circulated among supporters.
The timing of the arrest is significant, as it coincides with the broader political context surrounding the EFF and its leader, Julius Malema. TimesLIVE reported that there are ‘favors’involving Malema and other individuals that could be related to the broader political context of the incident.
The PKTT’s investigation into Mahlangu is expected to provide further insights into the motive behind Dube’s murder.
While some details, such as motives and connections, are not fully explored in the available information, the arrest marks a critical step in the investigation.
As the PKTT continues its probe, the EFF and its supporters are awaiting answers and a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding Dube’s death.
The community is also watching closely to see how this case unfolds and whether any broader implications emerge from the investigation.
The arrest of the alleged hitman in Monicca Dube’s murder is a significant development in the ongoing investigation.
