Johannesburg - General Khehla Sitole, the man tasked with ensuring the safety of South Africans, has become a crime statistic after he suffered loss when thieves made off with his two TV sets.
No one was injured in the incident and it's believed that the thieves used the fact that the Mpumalanga house is currently under construction as an opportunity to steal.

The theft is alleged to have occurred when Sitole was in Cape Town.
"Actually it was not a break-in, however, two television sets were stolen. The National Commissioner's house is currently under construction and therefore we are exploring certain possibilities. We believe that this was purely opportunistic," police spokesperson Brigadier Vish Naudi said.
