During the incident, a conflict erupted resulting in two individuals (a man and woman) being shot. Sadly, one of the victims succumbed to his injuries at the scene, while the second victim, a woman, sustained injuries and was taken to a medical facility for treatment. The Acting Provincial Commissioner of the SAPS in Mpumalanga, Major General (Dr) Zeph Mkhwanazi, has urged the community to remain calm amid this situation. He emphasized that the SAPS has deployed members from Public Order Policing (POP) to maintain order and contain the situation. “We call on members of the public to refrain from engaging in unlawful activities that endanger the lives of others. We will not tolerate any actions that undermine the rule of law. Those involved in criminal behaviour will face the full force of the law,” warned Major General Mkhwanazi. The SAPS is committed to ensuring the safety and security of all residents in the Nkomazi area and will continue to monitor the situation closely.
