The British and Zimbabwean man who was arrested in Johannesburg, South Africa’s (SA) on firearm charges and is also wanted in connection with a United Kingdom (UK) triple murder, Ndodana Mkhanyisi Tshuma, is expected to appear at the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday.
The case was postponed for his legal status verification and address checks.
The 45-year-old was captured by the SA Police Service (SAPS) in collaboration with Interpol on July 10 and is expected to first face the local unlawful firearm charge while he waits for his pending extradition.
Tshuma was found in possession of an unlicenced firearm during his arrest in the Johannesburg suburb of Kensington and made his first court appearance on July 13.
He is also wanted in the UK for the murders of his 42-year-old wife Nothabo Zandile Tshuma, two daughters, 15-year-old Natalie and 5-year-old Nala.
SA authorities are said to be processing a provisional extradition request from the UK, with Justice and Constitutional Development Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi confirming intent to extradite.
