Overview
- Gauteng police say a fourth suspect surrendered in Atteridgeville and joined three co-accused in a Pretoria Magistrate’s Court appearance on hijacking and murder charges.
- The case is set to return to the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court next week, The Citizen reported.
- Bolt’s internal review found Isaac Satlat was operating under driver Wiseman Makobe’s verified profile, which has been permanently blocked from the platform.
- The company says compensation and other support apply only when drivers use their own verified profiles, so profile sharing falls outside its policies.
- Police say preliminary findings indicate two passengers attacked Satlat after a Pretoria West pickup, and e-hailing representatives are urging compulsory passenger vetting and stronger safety rules after dashcam footage of the killing circulated widely.
