Western
Cape MEC of Community Safety Dan Plato has called on the community of Manenberg
to work with police in bringing offenders to task.
This
is after a 71-year-old woman was gunned down at her home in near Vygieskraal
Road on Tuesday night.
Her
brother a 44-year-old Constable was also injured during the shooting. Police said the motive for the murder is
still unknown and no arrests have been made as yet.
Ministerial
Spokesperson Ewald Botha said MEC Plato conveyed sincerest condolences to the
extended family, friends, colleagues of Constable Eksteen, for their loss and
trauma experienced with the attack that has fatally wounded the 71-year-old
mother and injured the 44-year-old brother of Constable Lutfie Eksteen.
“MEC
Plato urges the community of Manenberg to work with the police in bringing the
offenders to task because, we cannot allow such a brazen and heinous attack to
deter the SAPS to act against unscrupulous criminals, murderers, gang bosses or
drug-lords.” Botha added.
