Commissioner, Sello Kwena, has condemned the alleged execution-style murder of 58-year-old, Sello Kgasi, by what he terms heartless criminals who robbed him of his personal pistol. 

Kgasi, who was driving a white Toyota Quantum minibus taxi with two female passengers, got a flat tyre after he drove over spikes that were spread across the road near Solar Panels camp on the R566 road between Mmakau and Brits. Kgasi allegedly stopped the vehicle to fix the puncture but was ambushed and shot by two suspects who were armed with guns.

The incident occurred on Friday, 2 April 2021 at about 00:55. 

As a result, Kgasi was fatally wounded and the suspects robbed him of his personal pistol and other belongings.

The commissioner has also issued a warning to the public and motorists to be vigilant when approaching that area at night as the area is becoming a crime hotspot. Kwena adds that he has since mobilised the 72-hour Activation Plan, which includes the deployment of various units to trace and apprehend the suspects who also robbed the two female passengers of an undisclosed amount of cash and their cell phones.

“Anyone who may have information that can lead to the arrest of the suspects is requested to contact the Investigating Officer, Detective Sergeant Aubrey Kgomo on 082 520 1598. Alternatively, Crime Stop can be contacted on 08600 10111. Anonymous tip-offs can also be communicated via MY SAPS Application,” Kwena adds.
