The DA extends its deepest condolences to the families, friends and colleagues of the four police officers killed this week. The four police officers, three from Gauteng and one from Western Cape were brutally killed in the line of duty.
Statistics show that in the 2014/2015 financial year 35 on duty and 51 off duty police officers were killed.
These numbers are too high, our police officers put themselves in the line of fire every day to protect South Africans.
We welcome the arrests of the suspects in connection with two of the cases. We urge the South African Police Service (SAPS) to ensure that all suspects are arrested and face the full might of the law.
Every murder of a police officer is a tragic loss to the family of that officer.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the families, friends and colleagues of the police officers during this difficult time.
