The alleged kidnapper of the daughter of popular Gugulethu restauranteur Mzoli Ngawuzela failed to appear in the Wynberg magistrate court on Monday.

Mziwamatolo "Matolo" Tyuluba was arrested at a shebeen last Sunday, 10 months after the incident in Ginsberg near King William's Town.

Yesterday, state prosecutor C J Turner told the court that Tyuluba would appear on Wednesday after he had arrived in Cape Town on Sunday.

Tyuluba will join his girlfriend and co-accused Nandipha Mshudulu of Parklands, and Luther Kwenana of Gugulethu who were arrested days after the kidnapping, in the dock.

Kwenana was refused bail in the Wynberg Magistrate's court and Mshudulu was released on R10 000 in the Cape High Court.

They are charged with armed robbery, extortion, hijacking, fraud and kidnapping. Twenty-year-old Sisanda Ngcawuzela was found bound hand and foot and blindfolded to a chair in Mshudulu's house in December.
