The Police National Commissioner, General Fannie Masemola has commended the police for the swift arrest of a suspect (38), who allegedly shot and killed two police officers in Kimberley, Northern Cape on Tuesday morning.
Masemola said Constable Okaetse Mandindi (35) and Sergeant Kedimetse Masilo (45) who were both attached to the Kimberley Flying Squad, were tracing a stolen vehicle when they were fatally shot.
“Masilo joined the service in 2007 and had 16 years of service at the time of her death, while Mandindi joined the service in 2012 and had 11 years of service at the time of his death. The organisation will ensure justice prevails for their families, friends, and colleagues.
“The killing of these members happens a week before the commemoration of 34 members, who died in the line of duty in the 2022/2023 financial year. We will work hard to secure a water-tight case that will result in a lengthy conviction for this perpetrator,” he said.
Masemola further said, while the arrest of the alleged perpetrator will not bring Mandindi and Masilo back, may their souls rest in peace knowing that they died serving and protecting South Africa and all its inhabitants.
The suspect is expected to appear before the Kimberley Magistrate’s Court on 24 August 2023 on a number of charges including two counts of murder.
