NHLANGANO – Police in South Africa are reportedly looking for two brothers believed to be in the kingdom, in connection with various serious offences committed in that country.


The pair is linked to a series of offences including rape, armed robbery, abduction and a murder case, which were apparently committed in different locations around Piet Retief in the Mpumalanga Province of the neighbouring country.
The brothers have been pursued by the South African law enforcement agencies for the past three years after fleeing that country to dodge criminal charges.


This is according to a request for arrest and extradition by the Government of the Republic of South Africa.
Authorities believe the duo of Bhekumuzi and Mfanufikile Matholeni of Matimatima area was responsible for the death of a man who was killed at Mayhook Farm around Piet Retief, in a savage attack where a car belonging to the deceased was also torched.


The crimes were allegedly committed between September 5, and December 2013 but the suspects could not be arrested after they apparently fled South Africa and crossed over to Swaziland.
Following the request for arrest and extradition by the SA Government, a warrant of arrest was then issued by the Nhlangano Magistrates Court.


This culminated in the arrest of one of the brothers who is now behind bars at a local Correctional facility, pending the finalisation of their extradition.
