Senior police sources in the area told the media that the arrests were made after police received a tip-off of a wedding taking place in the area, that contravened the lockdown regulations pertaining to the number of people allowed at a gathering.

 

“We are currently processing them. They will be taken to Empangeni police station and kept in the holding cells,” an officer said. This is the second wedding-related arrest in the province. The media reported how a Nkandla school principal, Jabulani Zulu, 48, and his fiancée, Nomthandazo Mkhize, 38, were arrested last Saturday shortly after taking their vows.
