Fani John Sibeko has appeared in the Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court after allegedly shooting and killing four African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) members and injuring three others in Katlehong.
Sibeko faces four counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder following the shooting, which occurred on Tuesday evening, 13 October 2026, as a group returned from a memorial service at Mogobeng Primary School.
He reportedly handed himself over to the police after the incident and remains in custody.
The case was postponed to Thursday, 22 October 2026, when Sibeko is expected to apply for bail. The State has indicated that it will oppose his release.
The charges remain before the court.
