Pretoria - Police have ordered a manhunt for gunmen who killed 32-year-old Constable Xolani Zulu at his home in Kwa Nyuswa, near Hillcrest, on Saturday night.
It is alleged that the two gunmen arrived at the constable's house and waited for him to return. The suspects, using what appeared to be a rifle and a handgun and without warning, opened fire on the constable, killing him instantly. Constable Zulu, a married father of three young children, was stationed at KwaNdengezi Police Station, and has served in the SAPS for the past eight years.
“I have been assured that the management of KwaNdengezi Police Station have arranged for our Employee Health and Wellness to give bereavement support to the family of Constable Zulu”, General Sitole said.
