National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesperson Eric Ntabazalila said:
Following the attack, one man, Ntabanyane Tlali, was arrested while three alleged perpetrators fled to Lesotho. In 2020, the NPA lodged an extradition request.
“After a lengthy extradition enquiry, which was held in Lesotho, the investigating officer Sergeant Estelle Wessenaar, as well as members of the SAPS and Interpol, were finally able to receive the accused and transport them over the South African border,” said Ntabazalila.
The matter was postponed to Monday.
