While self-confessed killer Muzikayise Malephane may have been under the impression that he was nailed for Tshegofatso Pule’s murder because Ntuthuko Shoba had betrayed him, it came to light that it may have been his own shoddiness that helped police nab him.
Under cross-examination in the high court in Johannesburg on Thursday, it emerged Malephane may have lost the fake number plate he had used to conceal his original number plate on the day of the crime. Shoba’s lawyer said there was a camera on Albertina Sisulu Road, parallel to Main Reef Road where Malephane was captured in a silver-grey Jeep. The body of Pule, who had just been shot dead, was placed in the back seat.
“There is a camera on Albertina Sisulu that is parallel to Main Reef Road. That is how you were connected [to the crime],” said Norman Makhubela, who is representing Shoba.I had initially attached the false number in the back and front, but when I was taking them off, I found that the one at the back was gone.“You can ask the investigating officer but your car number plate was picked up [by the camera] on Albertina Sisulu. You were heading towards where you stay or Durban Deep,” he said.
On the night of her murder on June 4, 2020, Pule thought Malephane was an Uber driver who had been hailed to collect her from Shoba’s home in Florida, Roodepoort, and take her home to Meadowlands in Soweto.Pule — who was Shoba's on-again, off-again girlfriend — was pregnant with his daughter and was less than a month from giving birth. Shoba had allegedly wanted her killed to conceal the pregnancy from his wife.
