Yesterday a source confirmed that after Mr Nkale collected the workers, he dropped all of them and his disappearance started after he dropped the last one.
“Some community members said they saw the car speeding at some point and also saw who was driving it but do not know what happened after that.
The car was later found abandoned near bushes in Kanana by the car tracking company using a helicopter.
The source said it was concerning that the police had given the car back to the owner, the only crucial evidence in the matter.
The source further said it is believed there are people who have been arrested and others have since fled Kanana as they are suspects.
“We however feel that the police have been dragging their feet on this case from the onset,” said the source.
