Limpopo Police Commissioner, Lieutenant-General Thembi Hadebe, has urged for calm in Shawela village, outside Giyani, following community protests in the early hours of Monday.
This comes after residents took to the
streets and blocked roads, demanding swift action after a woman was stabbed to death, allegedly by her boyfriend, during the early hours of Sunday. The suspect fled the scene shortly after the incident, sparking widespread anger in the community.Hadebe said while police understand the sensitivity of the case and the pain it has caused, lawlessness will not be tolerated. She urged residents to allow police space to conduct their investigations without disruption.
"We wish to reiterate that we have already established a dedicated task team to track down the suspect, and the arrest of the suspect is imminent,” said Hadebe.
Police are continuing to appeal to anyone with information that may assist in the arrest of the suspect to contact Warrant Officer Magezi Moses Menyuku on 082 729 0343 / 071 757 8265. They may also contact their nearest police station or Crime Stop on 08600 10111.
