Two police officers killed in Emalahleni crash
Two police officers died in a car crash in Emalahleni when the official vehicle they were travelling in reportedly lost control and crashed on Tuesday night on the N4 near Olifants River.
The sergeants, who were attached to the Mpumalanga Tactical Response Team, were travelling to Pretoria to testify in court cases when the tragedy occurred.
At the time of their passing, they were deployed as part of the eManguzi Task Team in KZN, where they were actively involved in combating cross-border crimes.
Acting National Police Commissioner Puleng Dimpane has extended heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families, friends, and colleagues of the two cops.
“The loss of these dedicated officers is a devastating blow to the organisation. They served the country with commitment and courage. Our thoughts and prayers are with their families and loved ones during this painful time,” she said.
The names of the deceased will be released once all immediate family members have been informed.
