Khumalo will make an appearance at the Palm Ridge Magistrate's Court on Tuesday, facing charges of murder, sources said.
In July, following Varrie's death, Gauteng police Spokesperson Mavela Masondo confirmed that a case of murder was opened at Vosloorus police station and transferred to Katlehong North police station, where an investigation was underway. "No arrests have been made yet, but the investigation’s at an advanced stage,” Masondo said at the time. This after Khumalo, accompanied by his crew and Gauteng Patrollers, popularly known as amapanyaza, descended on a house in Katlehong apparently acting on a tip-off. They cornered the occupant of the house, one Robert “Kicks” Varrie, and began interrogating him.
Following Varrie's death, Television channel Moja Love alleged that he refused to cooperate with the lawful instructions of the recognised members of the community policing forum.In times of uncertainty you need journalism you can trust.
