“Police have since launched a manhunt for the suspect. Police have opened a murder and attempted murder docket. Psychosocial support for the colleagues of the deceased member is currently being provided by the SAPS employee health and wellness practitioners”.

The circumstances surrounding the shooting are under investigation, and further details are awaited. The community mourns the untimely passing of a man who represented the spirit of resilience and passion in both his professional endeavors.
