One suspect has been arrested.
Ngcobo says there've been no developments since then. "I'm still hoping that he will return because even though I'm thinking maybe he's been killed, I don't think will be any reason why they would kill him. I don't know what to do now."
Ngcobo is appealing for more help. " He's dark, not very tall and has gold teeth. He was wearing his uniform."
