A police officer, who was the Detective Branch Commander at Mooinooi Police Station has been shot and killed at his house in Hammanskraal in what looked like a hijacking incident. The North West Police Commissioner, Lieutenant Gen Sello Kwena, described Lieutenant Colonel Lekone Morris Mohajane (55) as a seasoned police officer with 33 years of loyal service.
“Mohajane was a selfless and dedicated police officer and his passing came at a crucial time of intensifying the fight against criminality, in which he was playing a crucial role. We visited his family on Monday and conveyed our heartfelt condolence message on behalf of the provincial management.
“We condemn the killing of police officers, which is tantamount to undermining the authority of the state. This heinous crime takes away one of the much-needed resources from the community, thus affecting service delivery,” Kwena said.
He further said that the resources have been mobilised to ensure that those who are behind this evil deed, are brought to book to face the full might of the law.
