EWN reports that the SA Policing Union (SAPU) has called for the fast-tracking of an investigation into the murder of 30-year-old officer Akho Nzingo, who was gunned down in Khayelitsha, in Cape Town.
SAPU noted that Nzingo’s murder last week brought the total number of officers killed in the line of duty in the Western Cape to five this year. During Nzingo’s memorial service on Thursday at the OR Tambo Community Hall in Khayelitsha, SAPU shop steward Abednego Nezingane said the attacks on police officers were attacks on the State and tantamount to treason. "At the end of the day if the police are being killed, South Africa, the democratic South Africa will be rendered useless because they will do as they please," he stated.
