This is after he recently secured life imprisonment for Vusimuzi Nhlapo, who strangled and assaulted his 86-year-old grandmother in September last year.
The 36-year-old man from Daveyton was arrested on September 21, 2022, after his grandmother opened a case against him at Daveyton SAPS.
A case of assault GBH was opened but it was later changed to attempted murder after the police received the victim’s medical report.
According to the report, the 86-year-old woman suffered injuries on her body and her respiratory system.
On a mission to make sure law and order triumph, Qwabe conducted a thorough investigation which saw Nhlapo being handed a hefty conviction of life imprisonment in the Benoni Magistrate’s Court.
Qwabe recently received a certificate of excellence from Ekurhuleni district commander Major General Anna Sithole, for his outstanding work.
