The investigation was also conducted in consultation with the complainant and the relevant witnesses.
However, no-one was found on the farm. A number of personal items were found in the house, which made the police conclude that the inhabitants of the house had vacated it hastily.
We reiterate that the NPA (National Prosecuting Authority) did its utmost to act within the law and in good faith at all times in obtaining the warrants, and conducting the searches.
To obtain as much evidence as possible.
In as far as the evidence at our disposal is concerned, we already have enough to make out a case.
Food with Chinese printing on the packaging, newspapers printed in Chinese and Chinese-manufactured clothing were found in the house. Police concluded that the inhabitants of the house were mainly Chinese.
We do not comment on matters with regard to witness protection.
As the NPA we are very pleased with this as it offers us what we wanted all the time - which is enough time to prepare for this case.
No decision has been taken yet on the matter. It is a high-profile matter which dictates that it be given special attention but not necessarily preferential treatment.
