A Pakistani national is alleged to be in South Africa on a student visa, despite claims that he is not enrolled as a student and is instead operating a hardware business in Mafikeng.
He has also been linked by some community members to the killing of activist Thato Molosankwe, although no court has found him guilty of any involvement.
Critics further allege that he continues to operate freely due to alleged connections and influence within political, law enforcement, and judicial circles. These allegations remain unproven and should be investigated by the relevant authorities.
