ANA reports that the African National Congress (ANC) study group on defence and military veterans on Monday said it was "shocked" by reports of the burnt body of a defence force member having been found in a car boot.
The SA National Defence Force (SANDF) soldier was deployed to Cape Town as part of Operation Lockdown, an on-going operation that is combating rampant gang-violence in the Western Cape. "We condemn this senseless killing and other acts of violence against our country’s soldiers, who have been deployed to our communities in the Cape Flats with the objective to maintain peace and safeguard the rule of law," said Thabo Mmutle on behalf of the study group. He welcomed the arrests already made by the police of those accused of the crime and called on the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) to work with police to ensure the perpetrators met the full force of the law.
