"We're looking for the main cause, the people behind this. It will take a while, but the puzzle is coming together.
"When the case is in court, there will be some interesting evidence shared to show the public the extent people go to have someone killed. The picture is emerging, and we're starting to see something interesting beyond those arrested."

As it stands, there were several arrests made in connection to the murders, with two suspects still being held in Eswatini awaiting extradition to South Africa. The commissioner revealed:

"We received authority to bring them here. We have a strong case and are making efforts to extradite them and assured the Eswatini authorities that we'll do everything accordingly."

"This is slowly looking like the Senzo case; how long should we wait before the real killer gets arrested?"

XekiHlongwane was frustrated:

"The former police minister said the same thing."

Meanwhile, others appear confident in the police's efforts:

KhumaloDanica was hopeful:

"Bheki Cele is no longer the minister, so I have hope now. AKA will get justice."

NathiBlose14365 threw shade at Bheki Cele:

"Anything is now possible in the absence of that one."
