“The SAPS employees and members of the community will dearly miss this dedicated community builder, who never hesitated to work together with the police and the public alike in the fight against crime. Our hearts and thoughts are with the Ngamlane family as we fondly remember him. We are indeed grateful for all that he did for the service and the community,” says provincial commissioner Lieutenant general Sello Kwena.
