In a statement the family which runs a taxi empire in KwaZulu-Natal raised concerns that authorities had not yet contacted Mfundo, refuting any suggestions that he may be involved in any shady dealings.

“I think once the court process has unfolded and there are new news and developments then maybe it will be appropriate for further updates to the public. For now, we are conformed by the sub-judice manner of the matter, let's not run parallel processes"

The family says they are willing to cooperate with authorities in the pursuit of justice.
