National Press Club satisfied with progress made in Aserie Ndlovu & Zodwa Mdhluli kidnapping case

JOHANNESBURG - The National Press Club said it was satisfied with the progress made in the kidnapping case of missing journalist, Aserie Ndlovu, and his partner, Zodwa Mdhluli.

On Thursday, the matter was postponed to allow the newly arrested accused the opportunity to apply for Legal Aid. 

Sello Uoane and Thato Madisha were the latest suspects to be charged in connection with the kidnapping, while six others remain in police custody. 

Ndlovu and Mdhluli went missing in February in KwaMhlanga in Mpumalanga.

Press club spokesperson, Elijah Mhlanga, said that despite the court postponements, police continued to make breakthroughs in the matter.

"The case is not dragging. In fact, there's a lot of progress, if you look at the arrests that have been made. Almost every second day or so, there's arrests that are made and the suspects have to come to court. We also understand that the police have a lot of work to do and they are doing that work. The team is updating us all the time."
