JOHANNESBURG,
South
Africa
–
South
African
police
say
they
are
seeking
the
extradition
of
Zimbabwean
musician
Malloti,
who
is
wanted
on
an
outstanding
warrant
linked
to
a
2017
armed
robbery
case
in
Cape
Town.
The
warrant
was
issued
in
the
name
of
Namatai
Bhobho,
although
Malloti’s
real
name
is
Millicent
Tsitsi
Chimonyo.
Police
have
not
explained
the
discrepancy,
but
one
possibility
being
considered
is
that
she
may
have
used
a
false
identity.
Western
Cape
SAPS
spokesperson
Captain
F.C.
Van
Wyk
told
IOL
that
the
warrant
of
arrest
was
issued
by
the
Wynberg
Magistrate’s
Court.
“The
accused
is
wanted
on
a
case
of
robbery
with
a
firearm…
The
case
was
removed
from
the
court
roll
until
she
is
traced
and
arrested,”
Van
Wyk
said.
He
added
that
the
docket
is
now
with
the
Director
of
Public
Prosecutions,
whose
office
will
“make
arrangements
for
the
accused
to
be
traced
and
then
to
be
extradited
back
to
South
Africa.”
A
police-issued
“WANTED”
notice
bearing
the
name
Namatai
Bhobho
includes
a
photograph
of
a
woman
resembling
Malloti.

Authorities
have
not
provided
details
on
how
the
musician
is
allegedly
linked
to
the
armed
robbery
investigation.
On
Monday
night,
Malloti
posted
a
video
of
herself
counting
money
on
Facebook,
accompanied
by
a
profanity-laced
caption
in
Shona
in
which
she
denounced
someone
identified
as
Kettina
and
“her
SAPS.”
“Don’t
you
get
tired
everyday
Malloti,
Malloti,
and
meanwhile
I’m
busy
enjoying
life
with
my
family
that
really
loves
me.
REST!!!”
