Meanwhile, south of Durban, police have made a breakthrough in tracing the suspect linked to a house robbery.  


32-year-old  Aanda Majola was one of the suspects who robbed victims in a house in uMbumbulu last year. 


They coerced the family to transfer R60,000 to their account and ran away with a stolen car. 


SAPS spokesperson Robert Netshiunda says Majola was nabbed in Gqeberha, in the Eastern Cape, this week.


" The warrant of arrest was granted and issued against one of the suspects, Intelligence was gathered and Majola made a brief appearance at the uMbumbulu  Regional Court and remains in custody until next Wednesday for bail application."
