Police in Limpopo have launched a murder investigation following the brutal killing of popular comedian and content creator Ndivhuwo Khadzianii, widely known as Skeem.

The 20-year-old was found dead with multiple stab wounds to his upper body at Madonsi Boltman B in Malamulele, Vhembe District, in the early hours of Saturday, 17 October 2026.

The location differs from Macece Resort, which was previously reported following a statement issued by the African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL). Police confirmed the incident happened at Madonsi Boltman B.

As previously reported by African Times News, Skeem’s death has sent shockwaves through the community, with the circumstances surrounding his killing remaining unclear.

According to the South African Police Service (SAPS), a community member reportedly heard a knock at the door at approximately 03:35. When the resident looked through a window, they noticed a man bleeding profusely and immediately called for assistance.

“It is alleged that at approximately 03:35 on Saturday, 17 October 2026, a community member heard a knock at the door. Upon checking through a window, they noticed a man bleeding profusely. Emergency Medical Services were summoned, where the victim was certified dead on the scene.

“The motive for the killing is unknown and no arrest has been made. Police have opened a murder case,” Brigadier Hlulani Mashaba said in the statement.

Limpopo Provincial Commissioner of Police, Lieutenant General Jan Petrus Scheepers, has condemned the killing and vowed that police will use all necessary resources to track down those responsible.

“We will mobilise all necessary resources to ensure that those responsible for this senseless killing are brought to justice. The murder of a young life with so much potential is deeply disturbing, and we will not rest until the perpetrators are behind bars,” said Lieutenant General Scheepers.

Police have appealed to anyone who may have information that could assist the investigation to come forward.
