Jacqueline Mpontsana alleged murderer arrested

Western Cape police arrested the man who allegedly murdered Jacqueline Mpontsana by setting her alight during a domestic dispute in September 2021.

Lwazi Sibindana, was arrested in Khayelitsha last week.

Mpontsana worked for the Western Cape’s Community Safety in the Directorate: Monitoring & Evaluation. Part of her responsibilities was to assess police stations for compliance in terms of the Domestic Violence Act.

Before his suspension Fritz released a statement saying, “we have been robbed of a mother, a daughter, a sister, a cousin, a friend and a colleague in the most cruel fashion. Nothing can be done to bring Jacque back. But we are grateful for this breakthrough: that progress has been made and that a suspect has been arrested. At one level, justice does offer some consolation.”

“I am advised by my HOD, Adv. Yashina Pillay, that the suspect has been arrested in Khayelitsha and will be processed accordingly. Adv. Pillay has instructed our Court Watching Brief to obtain further information and to monitor the case going forward,” added Fritz.
