“The case was not brought to court on Monday as the prosecutor still wanted investigations to be conducted into the case. Witness statements are still outstanding. The Randfontein Police requests any witnesses who may be able to shed light on the incident to come forward,” said Ernst.
Randfontein Police management condemns any form of violence and discourages our communities from taking the law into their own hands.
“Our communities must also be careful not to make racial connotations with regard to crime. Crime affects everyone. Let us join hands to eradicate crime, without looking at colour,” said the station commander, Brigadier Manamela.
Community members who have more information about the case can contact the service officer Captain Smith on 082 568 4583.
