The Primrose police’s station commander Col Albertina Vesi thanked Makhubela for her hard work and dedication and encouraged other detectives to learn from her example.
“We hope that with successes such as this the community will learn that they cannot escape the long arm of the law.
“If you commit a crime you will be brought to book,” said Vesi.
