POTCHEFSTROOM – Bonginkosi Gift Ndaba (31) and Sithembiso Asha Zwane (39) appeared before the Brits Magistrates’ Court on Monday, 28 October 2024, for murder and defeating the ends of justice. The pair was arrested following the discovery of a 41-year-old Innocent Mandla Dlamini’s lifeless body under the bridge along the Lanseria road in Broederstroom, near Hartbeespoortdam on Tuesday, 22 October 2024. According to reports, police responded and found Dlamini’s body after being summoned to the scene. His identity card was found inside his pocket and this helped police in identifying him. As a result, detectives followed up and found family members, who positively identified the body. Spearheaded by Hartbeespoortdam detectives in collaboration with K9 Unit and Visible Policing members, Ndaba and Zwane were traced and arrested on Tuesday, 22 October 2024. It is alleged that Dlamini was assaulted in the early hours of Sunday morning, 21 October 2024, following a quarrel that ensued between him and the accused. It is further alleged Ndaba accompanied by Zwane, who was driving a Toyota Quantum, ran over Dlamini on the street in Klipfontein, Chloorkop. The pair then loaded Dlamini’s body into the vehicle and ultimately dumped it under the bridge on Lanseria road at Broederstroom. Following the court appearance, both men were remanded in custody until Friday, 4 November 2024, for their bail application. The Provincial Commissioner of North West, Lieutenant General Sello Kwena, thanked the team for their tireless efforts that resulted in the arrest of the suspects to answer for their deeds. Ends
