(Advocate) Thembisile Patekile, has condemned the incident, describing it as the
‘senseless act of violence’ and reiterated the SAPS’ commitment to dismantling
gangs and rooting out those who continue to terrorise communities.
“Gangsterism has no place in our society. The SAPS will
continue to exert pressure on these criminal networks until every individual
involved in violent crimes is brought to justice,” said Lieutenant General
Patekile.
Meanwhile, no arrests has been made regarding a triple murder in Delft. The suspected
