When asked when arrests would be made, Mkhwanazi said: “Well, we can go tomorrow. But do we want to go to court tomorrow with a half-baked case?
“No. We don’t want to go to court because of the few arrests that we’ve effected. Now we will just leave them and say, you know what, we’ll take someone and charge that person for another crime and keep him in custody, but we know that he is part of this case that we are investigating.”
