Media Statement POTCHEFSTROOM – The acting Provincial Commissioner of North West, Major General Patrick Asaneng conveys his heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, relatives and colleagues of the late Sergeant Fundiswa Motlhaoleng (45) who was allegedly gunned down on Tuesday afternoon, 14 January 2025, at Randlespark, Klerksdorp. According to information, the member who is stationed at Jouberton Visible Policing, was shot by unknown suspects while in her private vehicle and on her way to work and fully in uniform. The incident took place on Taljaart Kruger Street, Randlespark where three empty cartridges and an ammunition were found. Motlhaoleng’s body was found with what appeared to be gunshot wounds on the right jaw and hand respectively. A black Volkswagen Polo vehicle with four occupants, was allegedly spotted driving off from the scene at a high speed. The motive of the incident is yet to be determined and no arrest has been effected and investigations into the matter by the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI), are underway.
The acting Provincial Commissioner condemns the incident, which he said is intolerable and callous considering that the loss of a member impacts negatively on service delivery and the entire organisation. He ordered the investigation team to work around the clock to ensure that alleged perpetrators are arrested. The General also reminded members to constantly be alert whether on or off-duty.
