The Police at Groblersdal in Sekhukhune District are appealing to two foreign nationals Tobias Moyo (51) and Fanie Sergio Makwakwa (31) to avail themselves to the nearest police station as they believe that their presence may be of assistance in solving a number of serious cases that happened on a farm. The following cases,

murder, robbery with aggravating circumstances, housebreaking, unlawful possession of firearm and ammunition took place at a farm near Groblersdal on 06 August 2017.

According to reports, a group of men attacked the farm owner and his family and assaulted the farmer to death. Family members were taken to the hospital for medical treatment and were later discharged.

Among the group, four suspects were arrested, two on 06 August 2017, and another two on 08 August 2017. When they initially appeared in court on 08 August 2017, they were not given bail. However, they were eventually granted bail.

In the course of time one of the suspects passed on when they were expected to appear before the court and the second one was subsequently released by the court.

The case docket was eventually referred to Polokwane High Court and the remaining two suspects were given a date of 23 August 2017 for their second court appearance but they failed to appear and absconded.

Warrants of arrest were issued against the two suspects who were supposed to appear before court but they were nowhere to be found.
