Media Statement LUSIKISIKI – The National Commissioner of the South African Police Service(SAPS), General Fannie Masemola wishes to thank South Africans from all walks of life for the overwhelming support in providing information on the whereabouts of the wanted suspects in the Lusikisiki mass murders. General Fannie Masemola confirms that in less than 24 hours from the time the SAPS issued an alert on the wanted suspects, communities rallied together and informed police on their whereabouts. All four suspects are now in police custody. General Masemola also wishes to thank the South African media fraternity, social media users and all people living in South Africa who shared the pictures of these suspects, stood united and exposed the whereabouts of these suspects. “To those who shared the pictures of these suspects on social media, to all the journalists and media houses that played their watchdog role, we are indebted to you. This is what the SAPS can achieve when the whole country rallies behind our men and women in blue. We thank you South Africa for assisting us to stamp the authority of the state”, said Gen Masemola. The SAPS wishes not to divulge where these suspects were found and arrested at this stage as this may jeopardise investigations. General Masemola has also commended the investigating team that has been working on this case for their determination in solving this case. Ends
