IOL News reports that a police officer from the Mthatha K9 Unit died in an accident on Monday on the N2 outside Tsolo while in the process of tracking down suspects linked to a house robbery.
The officer, a 49-year-old warrant officer, was among five officers en route to Qumbu to follow up on leads when their vehicles collided with a minibus and another car near Dukathole Brickyard. The officer was driving one of the two police vehicles involved in the accident and was declared dead at the scene. The other four officers in the vehicles were injured and were hospitalised. The extent of their injuries is unclear, but they are under close medical supervision. The officers had been following up on information about suspects involved in a house robbery in Port Edward. Other law enforcement units arrested the suspects later that day. Eastern Cape Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant General Nomthetheleli Mene, expressed deep sadness over the incident.
