Three more men joined the alleged killer of a National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) senior official in the Carletonville Magistrate’s Court on Thursday, West Rand police said.
Spokesperson Inspector Solomon Sibiya said all four men had their case postponed to next Wednesday for a formal bail application.
Elias Mulaudzi, branch chairperson of NUM at Carletonville’s Driefontein gold mine, was killed last Monday while on his way home from work.
Sibiya said further investigations had led to the arrest of Jabulani Ntshangase, Zakhele Mbatha and Siphokuhle Mhlambo at the mine last Thursday.
Ntshangase, Mbatha, and Mhlambo are alleged to have paid Dan Mkhwanazi to assassinate Mulaudzi, Sibiya said. — Sapa
