TimesLive reports that Free State police have appealed for help in catching suspects linked to the murder of an Eskom subcontractor who was gunned down in the parking lot at Lethabo power station.

The incident occurred on Sunday evening as Siyabulela Nkwelo, 48, was heading to his car after finishing work. Free State police spokesperson Sgt Josephine Rani said Nkwelo’s co-workers heard several gunshots, and immediately after the shooting saw a man climbing into a white VW Polo with Mpumalanga number plates and driving off with four male occupants. “The police received a complaint of the shooting incident and on arrival found Nkwelo lying on the ground face down. Emergency services personnel declared him dead. He was a subcontractor at the power station,” Rani said.
