They were last seen leaving a petrol station near Johannesburg. The car they had been in was recovered from the same river on Thursday. “Their passing touched the country deep, but their dedication and contribution will never be forgotten,” SAPS said.
After a meeting which was held between the families of the late Constables, the Premier of the Free State, Honourable Maqueen Letsoha-Mathae and the Provincial Commissioner of Police in the Free State, Lieutenant General Baile Motswenyane, a decision has been taken to afford and honour the members with official funerals.
