In a week of high drama, Limpopo police swooped on three suspects implicated in a high-profile double murder in a move that suggests the cops could be winning the war against political killings in the province.
So far, 18 suspects have been arrested in connection with the murders of six high-profile politicians in Limpopo. The killings took place between 2018 and last year.
