“We have not arrested anyone yet. We have interviewed several people both in KZN as well as in Gauteng. We have obtained statements and collected cellphones. We are busy downloading (from) some of those phones. We have collected quite a number of videos from different CCTV cameras that we could find that will assist us,” he said.

Mkhwanazi said police have also received ballistic reports and teams are still reviewing all videos and analysing footage.

“We are still putting our evidence together so we have a solid case going forward,” he said.
