A 29-year-old Mozambican was arrested on Sunday in connection with the kidnapping and murder of a 26-year-old woman in North West.
Nomsa Jas went missing on August 25 after leaving her place of work in Potchefstroom.
After a missing person inquiry was registered on August 26, her Volkswagen Polo Vivo vehicle was found at a mall in Springs in Gauteng.
