News24 reports that the police are mourning the loss of yet another officer after Tembisa-based police officer Sharon Mogale was gunned down last week.

Mogale and her partner, Sergeant Mapule Petje, were attacked and disarmed of their service pistols inside a retail shop in Tembisa. The robbers shot Mogale in the head before fleeing the scene. Petje was not injured during the attack. Police Minister Bheki Cele Cele visited the home of Mogale’s family on Friday and raised concerns over the relentless attacks on women in the country. "We are pained that the attack on the two female officers came at a time when the country is meant to celebrate women. Instead, we are seeing women from all walks of life being brutally harmed in the worst ways by men," Cele stated. Meanwhile, he welcomed the arrest of a 31-year-old suspect in the Free State for allegedly killing Constable Madikotsi Mota Malinga, who was strangled to death on 21 August after sending distress calls to her colleagues that her boyfriend was assaulting her.
