Police Minister Bheki Cele says the two officers killed on duty in Kimberley in the Northern Cape were murdered brutally. Cele visited the families of the officers slain on Tuesday.
He announced that Constable Okaetse Mandindi and Sergeant Kedimetse Masilo will receive official funerals. The two police officers spotted a stolen vehicle and chased the suspect who later overpowered and shot them.
A 38-year-old suspect was later apprehended. The family of Constable Mandindi say they are heartbroken to have lost their loved one. They described Mandindi as a people’s person who also loved his job.
Mandindi’s sister, Nombulelo Mandindi, elaborates. We lost a breadwinner; he loved being a cop that he had to move from Warrenton to Kimberley to work.
