Prince Chulumanco Sigcau from the AmaMpondo Royal Family said: "In all honesty, I’d be cheating you and your viewers if I said we do have developments from the government or the policing department because they did give us the developments that they have, but I don’t think it’s sufficient enough."

Meanwhile, a bereaved family member said that while police had said they had a few leads, they still wanted to hear more.

"We definitely need answers, but as far as the person that has been called in for questioning – we haven’t really been updated on that one, as families, as to how far this is going. Is it a suspect or just questioning and letting him go? We haven’t really received a briefing from the police as to how far the case is going."
