TimesLive reports that police in Polokwane have arrested two suspects alleged to be behind the mob murder of alleged bogus Bolt drivers.

In February, four men were stripped naked and assaulted in Polokwane streets by community members after allegations that they were renowned for robbing riders while posing as drivers for the e-hailing service provider. They were alleged to have used stolen company profiles.   According to police spokesperson Brig Motlafela Mojapelo, one of the victims died of his injuries soon after he was admitted to the hospital. A second victim died after four days in hospital, while a third died after nine days. The fourth victim survived the attack. “The two suspects we arrested are charged with three counts of murder and assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm after an incident that occurred on February 14 in which four men were allegedly stripped naked and severely sjamboked in Polokwane. This after they were accused by a group of vigilantes of robbery,” Mojapelo indicated.   Mojapelo added that more arrests were possible as police investigations continued. The suspects are scheduled to appear in Polokwane Magistrate's Court on Thursday.
