The family believes his skeletal remains were found in bushes nearby his home in July last year by initiates.“Police took us to where the remains where found. We indeed found some of his things which were there with the remains and we even found his sandal which proves it was him. The police even told us that its him but it first needs to be proven through the DNA test as the government instruct before they release the body for burial.
Meanwhile, the Mpumalanga police spokesperson, Captain Donald Mdhluli has requested the family to remain patient as they are doing the best to assist. “For now, I can indicate during the discovery of the remains in July 2023, there are samples that were collected.
