Police found the 44-year-old man’s body at the taxi rank on the corner of Njoli and Daku roads in Kwazakhele on Tuesday at noon. He had been shot many times.
“The investigating officer confirmed that the deceased was a person of interest in the murder case of Pamela Mabini, 46, who was shot and killed on Friday in Tshauka Street, Kwazakhele,” said police spokesperson Captain Sandra Janse van Rensburg.

Mabini was a well-known community leader who helped many people in need. She gave out food, hygiene products and school supplies to poor families. She also fought against the abuse of women and human trafficking.
She supported women who were testifying in the trial of Nigerian pastor Timothy Omotoso.
Many people knew her because she was always working to help others and fight for what was right.
Mabini was shot multiple times while sitting in her car in her driveway last Friday. Her funeral will be held at the Feathermarket Hall in Gqeberha CBD on Saturday 15 March.
