The Zimbabwean, Vision Bhokodisa (42), is believed to have
once worked at the couple’s Immerpan Farm.
“He (Bhokodisa) was arrested with Mhlabane Bheki (30),
Mbuyane Mpho Panuel (33), Nkosi Dumisani (33), Shabane Ntando (29), Mlazi Sfiso
(36) and Phiri Nhlanhla Willis (37) all from Mpumalanga Province,” said Limpopo
police spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Moatbshe Ngoepe in a statement yesterday.
“Police were notified and subsequently a manhunt ensued
until this major breakthrough was made. During the arrest, a rifle, magazine,
shotgun and ammunition were recovered,” he said.
The bullet-riddled bodies of Piet van Zyl (69) and his wife
Tilla (66) were found on their farm, Kalkpoort Game Farm, in the Immerpan area
the following morning.
This came exactly one year and six days after Van Zyl’s
arrest on allegations of illegal rhino horn trading.
Police said they suspect that the couple was asleep when
the suspects broke the door of their bedroom, ransacked the house and later
shot them after tying their hands together. Newsday
