PRETORIA - Three more people have been arrested for the murder of e-hailing driver Isaac Satlat.
Satlat was strangled inside his vehicle in Atteridgeville last week after responding to a trip request.
The killing sparked widespread outrage after a disturbing video circulated online, once again thrusting the safety of e-hailing drivers into the spotlight.
Tumishang Mogau Mabutla (23), Ofentse Senwamadi (18) and Thabang Kenneth Mothwa (27) appeared at the Pretoria Magistrates' Court on Tuesday.

According to the NPA, Mabutla is facing charges of premeditated murder and robbery with aggravating circumstances. Senwamadi is charged with premeditated murder and robbery with aggravating circumstances as an accessory after the fact. Mothwa faces a charge of robbery with aggravating circumstances as an accessory after the fact.
"It is alleged that the three accused, who previously appeared before the Pretoria Magistrates' Court on 16 February 2026, Dikeledi Tears Mphela, Goitsione Machidi and McClaren Mushwana, together with the co-accused added today, acted in common purpose to kill the 22-year-old e-hailing driver on 11 February 2026," the NPA said.
"It is further alleged that after disposing of the deceased’s body, the accused took the vehicle of the deceased to Mothwa for him to remove the tracker from the vehicle. The three newly added accused were arrested on Monday, 16 February 2026, after police investigations linked them to the offences."
The case has been postponed to 23 February.
