The suspects are due to appear in the Ladysmith Magistrate’s Court today (Monday, April 14). At this stage, the suspects will face charges of murder, extortion, and theft by false pretences.

These charges relate to the disappearance of 53-year-old Mr Joseph Kock, who was reported missing at Douglas SAPS (Northern Cape) by a relative. He is a truck driver and was expected back home on January 29 after making a delivery in the Durban area. However, he did not return and on January 30, a missing persons report was filed.

The truck was later found abandoned along the N3 outside Ladysmith. On February 23, the relative received a phone call from a person stating that the missing man was being held captive by very dangerous people and that a payment should be made to secure his release. The relative paid some money into the given bank account. Later, the wanted suspect, Lindokuhle Silindile Portia Ndaba, was linked to the incident.

“After local and provincial newspapers ran the story, the community got involved,” commented Captain Charmaine Struwig.
