The South African Police Services has offered a R20 000 reward to anyone with information that could lead to the arrest of Lovemore Musoyi who is on the run after escaping from a police vehicle while being transported to prison.
According to media reports, SAPS Limpopo provincial police commissioner, Lieutenant-General Thembi Hadebe has since ordered detectives in Sekhukhune to mobilise all available resources to arrest Musoyi.
SAPS said Musoyi is a Zimbabwean who is believed to be 35 years old.
“We urge the public to work with us and come forward with any information that can help to apprehend this criminal who continues to terrorise our communities,” Lieutenant-General Hadebe said.
SAPS spokesperson, Brigadier Hlulani Mashaba said Musoyi is wanted in connection with more than 10 criminal cases, including murder, attempted murder, armed robbery, kidnapping, assault, stock theft and possessing an unlicensed firearm.
“One of the recent incidents involving Musoyi occurred on June 20. Together with his accomplices, they robbed a tuckshop in Mafisheng Village. During the robbery, Musoyi viciously attacked a male victim he accused of betrayal with an axe,” said Brigadier Musoyi.
On January 1, 2023, Musoyi escaped from a police vehicle in Dennilton while en route to Witbank Correctional Services.
Musoyi also allegedly engaged in a violent altercation in February this year and reportedly shot his ex-girlfriend’s brother in the mouth before fleeing the scene with a television set.
