TimesLive reports that in the space of just three days last week‚ four police officers in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) came under fire from criminals in two separate incidents.  One of them is dead‚ the other three are recovering in hospital.  

Acting KZN commissioner Major General Bheki Langa said the attacks were "totally unacceptable".  "We will not rest until the perpetrators are brought to book.  I have tasked the Provincial Organised Crime Unit to investigate this and ensure that those involved will be arrested‚" he indicated.  His comments come after two officers were ambushed in an attack in northern KZN on Wednesday.  One of the officers in the attack died.  While still reeling from the mid-week attack‚ provincial cops received word that two other officers had been shot on Friday morning.  They were on patrol in Inanda‚ Durban‚ when they came across a suspicious vehicle.  They were taken to hospital for treatment.
