Three accused were arrested on Wednesday 10 July 2019, after the body of Anna Herbst (61) was found burnt beyond recognition in her home in Martindale, Bloemfontein on Saturday morning 6 July 2019. It was immediately clear she was murdered as her burnt body was found still tied up. She stayed alone.
She was known as Bloemfontein`s pancake lady as she sold pancakes for a living outside the D and J Butchers in Generaal de Wet, Bloemfontein.
One of the arrested suspects is Lehlohonolo Gift Mans who is 18. The other 2 accused are 18 and 19 years old. Mans was convicted of hijacking in 2017 and sentenced to 15 years in jail but he escaped from prison at the time.
