Cape Town – The Hawks have launched an investigation into the murder of Constable Raymond Mzwakhe Khoza, a Brakpan crime prevention officer who was shot outside his home in Tsakane early on Friday morning.
According to reports, Khoza was responding to a neighbour’s call for help about an assault when gunmen opened fire on him, stealing his service firearm before fleeing the scene.
“As he approached the gate of the neighbour’s house, the suspects saw the deceased coming and started firing at him. The deceased ran back to his house with gunshot wounds,” Times Live quoted Hawks spokesperson Lieutenant-Colonel Christopher Singo as saying.
The ANC caucus in Ekurhuleni condemned the killing, calling for a swift and coordinated response from law enforcement to catch the perpetrators.
It urged residents to assist police with information and emphasised the need to recover the stolen firearm, warning that it remains a threat to public safety.
