Limpopo police have launched a manhunt for suspects who allegedly shot and killed a police officer during a business robbery at Vuwani outside Thohoyandou.
Police spokesperson Motlafela Mojapelo says it’s alleged that the suspects gunned down 58-year-old officer, Tshitereke Masuvhelele, on Friday night.
Mojapelo says the suspects allegedly stole cash and a cell phone from a shop belonging to Masuvhelele.
Meanwhile, in the Western Cape, two suspects aged 32 and 52 years old have been arrested for dealing in drugs in Vredendal on the West Coast.
Police received information that drugs were being stored at two premises.
Police spokesperson FC Van Wyk says a large amount of drugs was seized when K9 dog Bessie pointed out a liquor box containing mandrax at one of the addresses and a pink suitcase with tik at another.
The estimated street value of the drugs is more than R160 000. The suspects are expected to appear in the Vredendal Magistrate’s Court on Monday.
