The case against the five suspects accused of robbing German tourist Nick Frischke on the day he went missing has been postponed for further investigation. The accused faced a charge of aggravated robbery and will remain in custody. Carlo Guenantin, one of the accused, was previously convicted of attempted murder and released on parole last year. However, his parole is under revision following his failure to meet the conditions.
In July 2022, eight women were raped in Krugersdorp, which raised concerns about handling personal information by the South African Police Service (SAPS). The personal data of the victims was leaked on internal SAPS WhatsApp groups and later found its way onto social media, causing distress to the victims and their families.
