Well, the police had swung into action soon after, leading to the arrests of suspects, with two others currently facing extradition from Eswatini, where they were said to have fled months before the hit.
Well, the hearing for the bail application took place on 14 March at the Durban Magistrate’s Court, with only three of the accused using the opportunity. It remains to be seen if the other two will use their bail opportunities next Monday.
By the way, before the arrests were made, some South Africans had lost faith in the ability of the police to unravel the case, But the arrests led to a surge in optimism.
