#BreakingNews: North West ANC MP in cuffs for wife's murder | News Article

The North West police have arrested an ANC Member of Parliament (MP) for the alleged murder of his wife.

A suspect known to OFM News was arrested on the morning of Friday 20 January 2023, in Kanana, near Orkney, on a charge of murdering his 31-year-old wife.

The 34-year-old former Dr Kenneth Kaunda ANC Youth League member is alleged to have murdered his wife in November 2022 at his place of residence. Police spokesperson, Athlenda Mathe, confirms that the suspect was arrested today and that he will appear in the Orkney Magistrate’s Court on Monday, 23 January 2023 to face the aforementioned charges. 

The deceased apparently shared a series of messages speaking about gender-based violence before her death. 

In a Facebook post she allegedly mentioned that, " GBV is real, if I wake up killed or any of my family members, please don't look far." 

This is a developing story.
