[TheChamp]

Two police officers responding to a crime scene were disarmed and shot dead in Boksburg, Gauteng on Thursday evening.

According to police spokesperson, Colonel Athlenda Mathe, the officers were waiting for a mortuary van at the crime scene when they were shot after responding to a complaint of an "unnatural death".

She said the officers were stationed at the Boksburg North police station. One of the officers was a 45-year-old sergeant with 18 years' experience. The other was a 29-year-old constable with three years of service.

National police commissioner, General Fannie Masemola, said communities needed to work together to stop police murders.

I wonder if it's the illegal miners again?

That is seriously messed up.

This being Boksburg, it's possible.

We are a lawless land and seem to be getting worse with no recovery plan.

I hope the cops find these bastids, and run out of ammunition shortly thereafter.

I guess only the cANCerous ones know why...

It's more than the politician in charge. The ANC have politicised everything including the police to the point where professionalism and accountability are all but optional. The police are as unionised as any other labour unit and unions are the worst in government - they are there to ensure their members can't be held accountable. The management at the police aren't better given that they are more interested in competing for tender sales than policing.

Yup.

RIP.

It sounds a bit like a trap to me tbh. Make a fake call over an "unnatural death", wait for the police to arrive, ambush em...

Yup. This is why I've reiterated multiple times, 2024 will literally be the final battle for SA.

For both you and I know, we won't be able to take five more years of ANC rule/going on like this...
