National Police Commissioner 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 was shot and killed at the Buyafuthi hostel in Katlehong on the East Rand on Saturday.
Masemola met with the investigating team led by the Deputy National Commissioner of Crime Detection, Shadrack Sibiya, as well as the Provincial Commissioner of Gauteng, Tommy Mthombeni on Monday evening.
The investigating team briefed the National Commissioner on progress made in tracking down the alleged killer.
Masemola says he is satisfied with the amount of evidence that the investigating team has 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 this suspect to hand himself over to his nearest police station."
The shooting incident also left two other people wounded.
