Timeslive reports that three men – thought to be linked to the slaying of a policeman in KwaMaphumulo two weeks ago – were shot and killed during a tactical raid in KwaMashu on Wednesday night.
The raid came as the culmination of a Hawks and Crime Intelligence Unit probe into the murder. Members of the elite National Intervention Unit stormed a property in the township. The gang of men apparently opened fire on police‚ who had then fired back. On 23 February‚ Captain Dumisani Mhlanzi‚ a policeman stationed at KwaMaphumulo‚ was shot and killed while he was off-duty‚ standing in a queue at a Spar supermarket. It is understood that the gang of men had effected an armed robbery‚ and targeted the captain when they saw his state-issue firearm at his waist. He was shot twice and died at the scene.
