“The thorough investigation led detectives to a husband and wife, aged 56 and 46, and a third male suspect, aged 48, who are scheduled to make their court appearance in Stellenbosch tomorrow [Wednesday] on charges of murder and conspiracy to commit murder,” said Western Cape police spokesperson Col Andrè Traut.

Mcako was one of several people killed in Kayamandi in 2019 during a turbulent year when land grabs by fringe political figures made international headlines. Wanana and his associate Zola Ndlasi broke Mcako’s hold over Kayamandi when they initiated a land grab on disused vineyards owned by wine farmer Stefan Smit.
