An alleged prophet has made a controversial claim about the person believed to be responsible for the Kempton Park killings, reportedly describing the individual as a South African man in his 30s from Tembisa who works as an Uber driver.
The claim was shared on X by a woman who said it came from the alleged prophet. According to the post, the man supposedly drives a small white car and has what were described as unusual fantasies involving women.
However, the identity of the alleged prophet has not been disclosed, and the post does not provide evidence supporting the description or linking any particular individual to the killings. It is also unclear when the alleged prediction was made or whether investigators have been informed about the claims.
The allegations have sparked concern online, with some people warning that sharing an unverified description could result in innocent people being suspected simply because they fit some of the details mentioned.
Others criticised the decision to circulate the claim on social media, arguing that information potentially relevant to the investigation should instead be handed directly to the police. Some commenters also questioned whether the alleged prophet has any verifiable information about the case.
Several key questions remain unanswered, including whether investigators have assessed the claim, whether the description corresponds to any person of interest, and whether police have publicly commented on it.
Until authorities establish otherwise, the alleged prophet’s description remains an unverified claim and should not be treated as evidence identifying the person responsible for the Kempton Park killings. The investigation remains the appropriate process for determining who, if anyone, is responsible.
