"Police were summoned to a scene where they found a 23-year-old man lying face down on the ground with multiple stab wounds on his body. It is alleged that the victim was walking with his friend when they were approached by a group of men who started a fight with them‚" said Bhembe.
"Police subsequently launched a manhunt and six suspects‚ aged between 17 and 24‚ were apprehended. They are expected to appear in court soon‚ facing a charge of murder."
Bhembe said the other four were found fatally stabbed in inexplicable incidents around Embalenhle.
He said it was possible that the attack on the four was all carried out by the same people.
"They were attacked at random. The bodies were found in different areas of the township but we are still trying to source information‚" Bhembe said.
