A woman has been arrested in connection with the murder of an e-hailing driver who was killed inside his vehicle in Pretoria West earlier this week, authorities said.
According to the South African Police Service, preliminary investigations suggest the driver was attacked and killed after two suspects a man and a woman booked a ride on Wednesday, 11 February 2026.
Shortly after the incident, his body and hijacked vehicle were discovered in Atteridgeville.
A video circulating on social media appears to show the violent assault inside the car, prompting police to urge the public not to share the footage as it could hinder the investigation.
The female suspect is set to appear in the Atteridgeville Magistrate’s Court on Monday, facing charges of murder and car hijacking, while police say further arrests are expected as the probe continues.
