The National Commissioner of the South African Police Service (SAPS), General Fannie Masemola, says he is confident that the team assigned to investigate the murder of IFP Member of Parliament (MP) Khethamabala Sithole will soon register a breakthrough.
Sithole, who served as the Deputy Chief Whip of the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP), was killed in Katlehong, Ekurhuleni last week.
General Masemola met with the investigating team led by the Deputy National Commissioner of Crime Detection, Lieutenant General Shadrack Sibiya, as well as the Provincial Commissioner of Gauteng, Lieutenant General Tommy Mthombeni on Monday evening.
The investigating team briefed the National Commissioner on progress made in tracking down the alleged killer.
General Masemola said he was satisfied with the amount of evidence the investigating team had gathered thus far.
“We know who we are looking for, it’s just a matter of time before we effect an arrest. Our crime intelligence operatives and seasoned detectives are on the ground actively searching for this suspect. We also urge the suspect to hand himself over to his nearest police station,” he said. – SAnews.gov.za
