RAMOKOKA REMEMBERS CHRIS MATSHABA.

Born in Ramokokastad near Rustenburg, Chris Matshaba was more than just a radio personality, he was one of us. A proud son of the North West soil who rose to national fame yet never forgot where he came from.

From co-hosting Serapa Sa Diphologolo on Motsweding FM to lighting up the airwaves at North West FM, Chris carried the voice and spirit of his people with pride. Beyond the mic, he was a visionary entrepreneur, leading Sebata Media and Motswana Investments, showing that homegrown talent can build empires.

He shared his life with actress Tsholo Matshaba, and together they inspired many with their love and resilience. Though Chris departed this world on 10 February 2018 after a courageous fight with cancer, his laughter, energy, and voice still echo through the province and beyond.

Rest in eternal peace, Chris Matshaba
you will forever be celebrated as one of us.

AN 18-YEAR-OLD FATHER ARRESTED FOR THE BRUTAL MURDER OF HIS 5-MONTH-OLD SON IN MALAMULELE.

The suspect Vongani Hlungwani aged 18, who allegedly murdered his five-month-old biological son at Jimmy Jones Village on Tuesday morning, 07 October 2025, appeared before Malamulele Magistrate's court on Thursday, 09 October 2025.

He was remanded in custody until 16 October 2025 for bail application.

The suspect was tracked down and arrested later the same day, at approximately 22:00, after an intensive investigation by the local detectives.

According to reports, the child’s mother arrived at Malamulele Police Station to report a case of domestic violence after she was allegedly assaulted by her boyfriend, who is also the father of the deceased infant.

While lodging the complaint, the woman informed police that the suspect had repeatedly assaulted their baby. Fearing for her safety, she fled the house, leaving the child behind with the suspect.

Police immediately accompanied her to the residence. Upon arrival, they were met with a gruesome discovery — the lifeless body of the infant lying on the floor.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the baby had sustained visible injuries to the head and face, suggesting that he was severely assaulted before succumbing to his injuries.
