Cape Town - The police must speed up their investigations into the murder of Western Cape metro police officer Senior Superintendent Mpumelelo Hubert Xakekile and arrest his killers, Popcru said on Thursday.
“We also welcome a cash reward of R50 000 offered by Mayor Patricia De Lille for information which could help in the police's investigations,” said the Police and Prison Civil Rights Union's (Popcru) Western Cape secretary Mncedisi Mbolekwa.
He said union members were shocked at the killing of Xakekile, 50, who was shot dead by two men while issuing a fine to a taxi driver at 6.30pm on Wednesday. He had been a metro police officer for 10 years.
The union conveyed its condolences to Xakekile's family and colleagues. - Sapa
