Siblings Froliana and David Joseph, along with their accomplice, Imanuwela David, are accused of breaking into the Limpopo farm in 2020 and making off with $580,000 in cash.
During the bail application stage, it was confirmed that the three accused are all South African citizens.
However, the alleged burglary mastermind, David, told the court that he has family connections in Namibia.
The State believes two Namibian adult males assisted him with laundering the stolen loot.
NPA Limpopo spokesperson Mashudu Malabi-Dhzangi explains: “For now, we are going to proceed with the trial with three people. We have already done the process of extradition to get other accused persons, but they are not going to join the trial at this stage.”
The trial has been scheduled to run for four weeks.
