The day after a 33-year-old Khayelitsha police constable shot and killed himself in Site C, Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa is visiting the Cape Town Township.

Police spokesperson Inspector November Filander says it is alleged that the deceased, who was driving alone and dressed in full police uniform, was on his way to work in a marked police vehicle.

“The police vehicle was driving along a white Condor with four occupants on Lansdowne road, Khayelitsha when both vehicles suddenly collided on their sides.

“When both vehicles came to a halt the police constables suddenly pull out his 9 mm service pistol and fatally shot himself in his head,” said Inspector Filander.

The circumstances surrounding the fatal shooting of the Khayelitsha police constable is being investigated
