\u201cWe are dealing with a person who is not supposed to be walking the streets,\u201d said minister of Police, Bheki Cele, about the suspect who was arrested for the killing of two police officers in Kimberley on Tuesday, 22 August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a press briefing in Kimberley on Wednesday, Cele informed the media that the 38-year-old suspect had previously been arrested with numerous criminal cases against him \u2013 amongst other for fraud and drug-dealing \u2013 and which was either withdrawn, or in which he mostly received suspended sentences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the incident on Tuesday, Cele said the suspect had an illegal firearm in his possession, and drugs were found in the sedan he crashed on the Transnet yard before allegedly shooting and killing two police officers \u201cin a very brutal way\u201d with a R5 rifle at close range.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Cele said suspects like these must not be given another opportunity to commit crime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe police are under siege,\u201d Cele continued, referring to the latest crime statistics which indicated that 31 police officers were killed while on duty in the period April to June. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although there are bad police officers, there are thousands and thousands good police men and women, he commented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In answering a question from the media whether the police are sometimes dissatisfied with court rulings, he answered that the police many times find the justice system to be more kind to perpetrators than to victims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Wednesday late morning Cele, accompanied by amongst other national police commissioner Gen. Fannie Masemola; provincial commissioner Lt. Gen. Koliswa Otola; and other dignitaries of the South African Police Service, visited the families of the 45-year-old Sgt Kedimetse Masilo and 35-year-old Const. Okaetse Mandindi who were both attached to the Kimberley Flying Squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cele said when these officers left their respective homes on Tuesday morning, their family members expected to see them after work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The youngest of Mandindi\u2019s children \u201cis still on the lap of the mother\u201d, Cele said, and now this five-year-old child, with his 10- and 15-year-old siblings, must grow up without a father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, Masilo\u2019s two children, aged 21 and 25 years, have to grow up without a mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese children have lost a parent,\u201d he said, emphasing the traumatic influence of these losses to the families, and ways they might suffer to survive without a breadwinner. In the meantime, perpetrators can study while doing their sentence, and get three meals a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cele said both families have agreed on official funerals for their loved ones. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

NoordkaapBulletin is a regional newspaper based in Kimberley, the capital of the Northern Cape of South Africa. It has a long-standing history of serving the community with news and information pertinent to the region. The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms. However, it remains a significant part of the media landscape in the Northern Cape, helping to keep communities informed and connected.","email":"noordkaapbulletin@novusmedia.co.za","telephone":"+27514047600","legalName":"Novus Media (Pty)
