The New Age reports that police in South Africa remained under attack from dangerous criminals as 2016 drew to a close, with seven officers gunned down in December.
This brought the number of officers killed to approximately 60 last year. The latest of these killings was that of a 35-year-old policeman, Sgt Peter Modiegi Mogotlane, who was shot and killed in Mabopane, north of Pretoria, during the New Year weekend. On 27 December, the body of a 57-year-old warrant officer was recovered in Atlantis in the Western Cape after it was pointed out by a suspect. On 20 December, another cop was shot and killed in Johannesburg while attending to a robbery.
