A 45-year-old man arrested in Johannesburg will be extradited to Britain to face murder charges, South Africa's justice minister announced on Sunday. Ndodana Mkhanyisi Tshuma, a British citizen of Zimbabwean descent, was apprehended on Friday following an intelligence operation involving Interpol.
British authorities charged him with three counts of murder after discovering the bodies of his wife Zandile Tshuma, 42, and their daughters Natalie, 15, and Nala, five, at their Bedfordshire home north of London on Tuesday. Justice minister Mmamoloko Kubayi told reporters that Tshuma "will be extradited to the UK once I have signed all the extradition documents and requests".
She said her teams were "working quite hard around the clock so that the extradition requests are done and the paperwork is done in time," but offered no specific date for his return. Tshuma is scheduled to appear before a Johannesburg court on Monday.
