Teamwork resulted in a KwaZulu-Natal suspect being rearrested at a tavern while watching a soccer game in the North West on Tuesday night.
Provincial police said on Monday they were looking for Sduduzo Nkosikhona Mavundla, 29, who was arrested in connection with the kidnapping and attempted murder of his nine-year-old nephew Mpendulo, who he allegedly strangled, stabbed and left for dead in the Phola area in Chesterville on January 4 2024.
Police spokesperson Col Robert Netshiunda said the child had gone to visit his grandfather when Mavundla allegedly lured him into bushes under the pretence he was going to buy him snacks.
