Tragic Discovery: Decomposed Bodies of Missing South African Journalists Found

DNA tests pending for couple missing since February; five suspects arrested.


The shocking discovery of the decomposed bodies of prominent journalist Sibusiso Aserie Ndlovu and his partner Zodwa Precious Mdhluli has left South Africa reeling, as investigations continue into their tragic deaths.



The bodies of journalist Sibusiso Aserie Ndlovu and his partner, Zodwa Precious Mdhluli, have been discovered in a remote area of South Africa, two months after they disappeared under suspicious circumstances. Local media reports indicate that the remains were found by police in an advanced state of decomposition, prompting an immediate investigation and pending DNA verification to confirm their identities.

In a significant development, law enforcement agencies have apprehended five suspects in connection with the case. Reports suggest that these individuals were captured while in possession of stolen items, including furnishings and vehicle parts belonging to the missing couple, who vanished on February 18. Both Ndlovu, known as the founder of Capital Live radio station in Pretoria, and Mdhluli are believed to have been murdered, shocking their community and fellow journalists.

The African Media and Communicators Forum (AMCF) and the National Press Club (NPC) have expressed their grief through a joint statement, emphasizing the sorrow that has engulfed the media community. AMCF chairperson Elijah Mhlanga articulated their condolences, lamenting the loss and the hope they held for the couple's return.

This incident has drawn attention to South Africa’s troubling crime statistics, where the country recorded over 26,000 murders in 2024, averaging nearly 72 per day. The chilling reality reflects a society grappling with escalating violence and fear, leaving many citizens and organizations advocating for greater safety and accountability.

As the investigation unfolds, the media community continues to demand justice for Ndlovu and Mdhluli, reinforcing the ongoing challenges for journalists in a nation fraught with peril.
