NATIONAL NEWS - National Police Commissioner, General Khehla Sitole, has condemned the attack on three police officers in Nongoma, KwaZulu-Natal, on Monday morning. In a statement, the South African Police Service (SAPS) said the officers, who are members of the Nongoma Visible Policing unit, were ambushed while responding to business robberies at two filling stations.
“On arrival at the scene, they were met by a hail of bullets and they retaliated.
The perpetrators fled the scene and three police officers were injured and taken to hospital. A warrant officer has since been discharged and two constables, one of them critically injured, are receiving medical attention,” Brenda Muridili said in the statement.
Sitole praised the members for their bravery and commitment to rid communities of people who have no regard for human life.
