Simphiwe Kwepile.
Kwepile was stationed at Nyanga police station and was
brutally murdered in June 2023 at Mandela Park in Khayelitsha.
‘’The Hawks have since taken up the investigation and
ensured that they don’t leave no stone unturned until yesterday [Thursday] when
they eventually effected an arrest,’’ said Warrant Officer, Zinzi Hani, at the
time.
The case has been postponed to Thursday, for further
