Wandile Bozwana (aged 43 at the time of death) was born in 1972 in South Africa. However, his exact date of birth remains a mystery.

Wandile Bozwana’s murder case
In June 2022, controversial Mamelodi businessman Vusi ‘’Khakhe’’ Mathibela, also referred to as Number 1 Tsotsi, Sipho Hudla, Robert Mutapa and Bongani Khumalo were convicted for the 2015 murder of Wandile.
Judge Papi Mosopa of the Gauteng High Court also convicted the four of the attempted murder of Mpho Baloyi and illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition.
While the state mainly presented circumstantial evidence, it was primarily on the face of the cellphone records of Wandile and confessions by Mathibela’s three co-accused that they were convicted.
Vusi’s cell records also proved that he and Khumalo spoke nine times shortly after Mutapa and Hudla were arrested about a month after Wandile’s assassination. Court proceedings are to resume on 25 August 2023.
