Nineteen suspects have been arrested in KwaZulu-Natal – of which 16 are alleged to have transgressed in Danhauser, two in Hluhluwe and one in the Port Shepstone – while the twentieth suspect was arrested in Douglasdale in Gauteng.

All suspects will be appearing in various courts in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng province.
