Gauteng police are investigating the landlord who rented out a shack to a man arrested in connection with the rape and murder of Amantle Samane, 6, in Orlando East, Soweto.
The Mozambican national, a welder who is alleged to be living illegally in South Africa, was arrested on Wednesday evening after a team led by the station commander and branch commander traced him to another shack in Zola.
“We can confirm the suspect has been put behind bars. Of concern in this case is that we still have quite a serious challenge with some South Africans. They keep on harbouring illegal immigrants,” Gauteng police commissioner Lt-Gen Tommy Mthombeni told a news briefing.
“Indeed we have opened a case for harbouring this individual.”
