Twelve people, including four Egyptian nationals, have been arrested for the Tuesday murder.
The group is accused of assaulting people at a house on Van Riebeeck Street, in Riversdale, and stealing cell phones and a TV from the house.
They were later arrested in different locations around Riversdale, and some as far as Mossel Bay, which is about 80 kilometres away.
They appeared in the Riversdale Magistrates Court on Friday on murder, kidnapping, and house robbery charges.
The matter has been postponed to next Wednesday for a formal bail application.
