PRETORIA, GAUTENG – The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has confirmed the brief appearance of 34-year-old Sipho Lucky Mahlangu in the Cullinan Magistrates' Court on Thursday.
Mahlangu, a resident of Soshanguve, faces charges of murder and robbery with aggravating circumstances following the fatal shooting of Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) Tshwane Region Two Secretary and Election Coordinator, Monica Dube.
The Fatal Intrusion
The state alleges that during the early hours of 13 June 2026, Mahlangu and an accomplice gained entry into Dube’s residence in Wallmansthal, north of Pretoria, by breaking through a window.
The intruders allegedly entered Dube’s bedroom and shot her in the head multiple times in the presence of her children. The assailants then stole her cellphone before fleeing the scene.
Arrest and Next Steps
Mahlangu was apprehended following a breakthrough on 4 July 2026, when the deceased's daughter spotted him at a local taxi rank. She immediately alerted nearby police officers, leading to his arrest by the Gauteng Political Killings Task Team.
The matter has been postponed to 23 July 2026 to allow for a formal bail application. Mahlangu remains in custody pending his next court appearance.
