In one particular case, the brothers were accused of robbing a driver and passengers on a bus on the N2 near Umzinto in KwaZulu-Natal, on October 6, 2001. Only three out of the 58 passengers that were on the bus claimed to be able to identify the perpetrators, South Coast Herald reported.
One of the brothers, Vusimuzi, said he was glad he was being released while his aunt and his mother were still alive. “They used to be worried about us, and we were worried about their illnesses,” he added.
His brother, Sboniso, said: “I’m quite relieved because I think this is the beginning of a new journey. We were arrested for something which we had nothing to do with. Charges were levelled against us. We have never admitted to those charges from the beginning because we knew nothing about them.”
