Husband and wife Sibusiso and Lerato Mahlangu appeared in the Soshanguve magistrates' court on Thursday on murder, defeating the ends of justice and fraud charges.

Shonisani TshikalangeSibusiso Sithebe went missing on 1 January 2022 and a missing persons case was registered on Monday, 3 January 2022.After almost a year of searching for Sibusiso Sithebe who went missing in January last year, his family clung to the hope they would be reunited with him, not knowing he might already be buried.

“Maybe in a psychiatric hospital or somewhere, we were just hoping that we find him alive. We were even scared thinking that maybe because he was a driver maybe he ran over someone and was arrested and we didn't know where he was being kept,” she said. “It is alleged that the wife then falsely claimed that the burnt dead body is that of her husband and registered his death at the department of home affairs. She allegedly got a fake death certificate knowing her husband was alive and allegedly buried the wrong person knowingly after it is alleged that she also claimed money for policies,” said Mahanjana.
