The Gauteng legislature’s Portfolio Committee on Community Safety has applauded the police for its breakthroughs in apprehending suspects linked to several high-profile murder cases, including for the killing of City of Ekurhuleni chief auditor, Mpho Mafole.
“These developments reflect the commitment and capability of law enforcement in pursuing justice and dismantling criminal networks that threaten public safety and the rule of law,” committee chairperson Bandile Masuku said in a statement on Thursday.
“However, while these successes are commendable, the committee emphasises that all victims of crime regardless of their public profile deserve equal attention, protection and justice. The fight against crime must be consistent and inclusive.”
Thabani Ntshalintshali appeared in court on Wednesday in connection with the murder of Mafole, who was also a popular Kempton Park DJ. Mafole was gunned down in the town last month.
Police are still looking for Ntshalintshali’s alleged accomplice, Hlanganani Agripper Mncwango.
