PRESS RELEASE: ASSASSINATION OF MPHO MAFOLE

ASSASSINATION OF MPHO MAFOLE A WAKE-UP CALL: TIME FOR DRASTIC ACTION AGAINST CORRUPTION AND VIOLENCE

Johannesburg, 3 July 2025

The brutal assassination of Mpho Mafole is not only a profound tragedy but a stark and urgent reminder of the grave dangers posed by entrenched corruption and criminal impunity in our society.

Mpho’s murder is a direct attack on the values of integrity, accountability, and justice. It embodies the escalating consequences faced by those who dare to confront fraud and corruption. This moment must serve as a catalyst, not for fear, but for decisive action.

We urge law enforcement agencies to act swiftly and decisively. Justice must be non-negotiable. The perpetrators of this heinous act — and those who enable them — must be brought to book without delay. The time of criminals acting with impunity is over.

This is not just about Mpho Mafole. It is about every honest and ethical professional who has ever been intimidated or silenced. It is about sending a clear, unwavering message: we will not retreat. We will not be cowed into silence. The fight against corruption will intensify, not diminish, in the face of threats and violence.

Let Mpho’s death not be in vain. Let it mark the beginning of a new era — one defined not by hollow promises, but by zero tolerance, real accountability, and fearless pursuit of justice. We will no longer tolerate the erosion of our institutions or the bloodshed of our bravest.

To those behind this atrocity and countless others: we do not fear you. It is you who should now fear the resolve of a nation that has had enough. There will be consequences. Justice is coming.
