Zimbabwean businessman Evans Katumba who was abducted on 22 March will be laid to rest this Saturday in his rural home in Zimbabwe.
South African investigators believe Katumba, who was in his mid-30s, was killed on March 24 shortly after the family paid R1.5 million ransom in a bid to secure his release.
Police were called to Hammarsdale, a township 50 kilometres west of Durban last week after the discovery of human remains in a field.
The family faced an anxious wait as DNA tests were conducted to confirm if indeed the remains were those of Katumba, who ran a thriving diesel brokerage business and had recently purchased Yugo, one of Durban’s top nightclubs.
