“The bodies were found right next to the road near the BP garage. All we know at the moment is that the bodies were those of five men. Their identities are not known but investigations should help us with that,” Sello said.

“The circumstances surrounding the incident are unknown as police investigations continue. We ask anyone who may have information to please contact their nearest police station or the Crime Stop line at 08600-10111. Alternatively, anonymous tip-offs can be left on the MySaps app.”
