Gauteng’s most wanted criminal Mbuso Ndabazovela Biyela has been killed during a shootout with police in KwaZulu-Natal.

The incident happened in the early hours of Monday.

In a statement, police spokesperson Brigadier Brenda Muridili said the shoot-out took place at 03:00 when a multi-disciplinary joint operation team conducted a takedown operation.

“The team tactically approached the house where Biyela was hiding but when he spotted them, he started firing shots towards the members who were forced to retaliate. Biyela was fatally wounded.

“None of the members sustained injuries. The team recovered an unlicensed firearm and ammunition upon entering the house,” Muridili said.

Biyela was linked to eight cases, including the murder of a police officer in October 2021. Last month, police in Gauteng issued a reward of up to R100,000 for information that would assist in Biyela’s arrest and conviction.

“Biyela was previously arrested in both KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng for murder in August 2020 and October 2021 respectively but he managed to escape from lawful custody,” Muridili said.

The Provincial Commissioner of Gauteng, Lieutenant General Elias Mawela commended the multi-disciplinary joint operation team and the community at large for their assistance in nabbing Biyela.

“We, as the police in Gauteng, have committed to entrenching ourselves into our communities to realise the ideal of community policing, we made a call to anyone with information on the whereabouts of one of our most wanted suspect and the calls that we received have assisted us a lot. Thank you to the public as together we have ensured the end of Biyela’s reign of terror,” said Lieutenant General Mawela. - African Insider
