PHOTO: Memorial/ City of Cape TownThe City of Cape Town’s Safety and Security Directorate held
a memorial service for two Law Enforcement Advancement Plan (LEAP) Law officers,
who were shot and killed in the last few weeks.
Zamikhaya Kwinana died while on patrol in Nyanga at the
start of the SANTACO’s taxi strike, while Toufeeq Williams was caught in gang
crossfire while off duty.
Cape Town Mayor, Geordin Hill-Lewis, said officers Kwinana
and Williams were taken from their families and from their communities far too
soon.
“These were young men in the prime of their lives – both in
their thirties, both with young families and both with bright careers in law
enforcement ahead of them,” said Mayor Hill-Lewis.
Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security, JP Smith
said two suspects were involved in the shooting of Williams and the City
confirmed that one of them has been arrested, while the second is still at
large.
“Any person who witnessed the incidents or has information
is urged to please report it to the City’s 24-hour tip-off line on 0800
110077,” added Smith.
