Police released CCTV images showing Tshuma at the airport leaving the UK after the murders.
Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development Mmamoloko Kubayi has confirmed that Ndodana Mkhanyisi Tshuma, a British-Zimbabwean fugitive wanted for the alleged murder of his wife and two daughters, was not flagged as a fugitive when he entered South Africa on July 5.
Tshuma was apprehended on Friday by the South African Police Service (SAPS) and Interpol in Johannesburg following a swift response to an Interpol alert.
Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development and chairperson of the Interministerial Committee on migration, Mmamoloko Kubayi reported that the arrest of Ndodana Tshuma raises urgent questions about border security and the responsibilities of governing authorities.
Addressing a press conference on Sunday, Kubayi praised the efforts of law enforcement agencies, stating: "I firstly wish to commend our SAPS and Interpol for the sterling work that they have done this week in the arrest of Ndodana Mkhanyisi Tshuma."
