Police have arrested a 64-year-old man in connection with the murder of an off-duty policeman yesterday in Ngulube Street, Nyanga. The suspect was arrested late last night after he fled the murder scene.
Constable Zweandile Ntshewula, aged 32 and based with the Nyanga SAPS, was killed near a railway station. Police spokesperson Captain Elliot Sinyangana says a taxi and the officer's private vehicle nearly collided, which sparked a heated argument between the two.
Sinyanga confirmed that when the policeman drove away, the taxi driver fired five shots. One of them killed the constable instantly. The suspect will appear in the Athlone Magistrates court on Thursday on a charge of murder.
Ntshewula leaves behind his wife and two children.
