The case has been postponed to the 20th of October 2023 for further investigations. The other appeared at another court in a separate matter. Police spokesperson sergeant Omphile Masegela says the suspects allegedly conspired to kill certain police officials in Upington as they were posing a threat to their drug trafficking business.
