The remains of 51-year-old Aaron Makola have been found after he disappeared earlier this month.
The Gauteng Political Killings Task Team has discovered the body of a missing Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) member in Delmas, bringing a tragic end to the search for 51-year-old Aaron Makola, who disappeared earlier this month.
National police spokesperson Athlenda Mathe said Makola was reported missing after he vanished on 10 July 2026. A day later, on 11 July, his vehicle was found abandoned, raising concerns about his whereabouts and prompting an investigation.
Mathe said the Gauteng Political Killings Task Team officially took over the investigation on 20 July after engaging with Makola's family and obtaining information that investigators believed could assist in tracing him.
"An extensive investigation led members of the GP PKTT to Delmas on Thursday, July 30, 2026, where the EFF member was tragically found," she said.
