The joint operation, conducted by Gauteng Traffic Police, Gauteng Traffic Wardens STT and SAPS Ivory Park, took place over the weekend in Tembisa and surrounding areas. Officers intercepted a white Nissan Almera that was operating as an e hailing vehicle.

During the stop, officers instructed both the driver and passenger to exit the vehicle for a routine inspection. While the driver cooperated, the passenger attempted to flee on foot but was quickly pursued and apprehended by officers.

A search of the suspect led to the discovery of an unlicensed firearm loaded with 15 rounds of live ammunition.

Preliminary investigations indicate that the firearm may be linked to a deceased individual from Diepsloot. The suspect was immediately placed under arrest.

In a separate incident at the scene, a 20 year old woman allegedly approached officers and attempted to offer a bribe of R4 600 in exchange for the release of the detained suspect. She was also arrested and charged with bribery.

Both suspects are currently being held at SAPS Ivory Park. The firearm, ammunition and cash have been seized and booked as exhibits as investigations continue.

The suspects are expected to face charges of possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition, as well as bribery.

The first case unfolded on Saturday in George, when officers responded to an altercation in New Dawn Park. They discovered a 25-year-old man with a fatal stab wound to the chest. Despite swift medical assistance, he was declared dead at the scene. A 26-year-old suspect was taken into custody and is expected to appear in the George Magistrate’s Court.

A second incident occurred in Kranshoek, near Plettenberg Bay, where police found a 26-year-old man collapsed on Ted Brown Street. He had also suffered a stab wound to the chest and died before medical help could arrive. A 26-year-old woman was arrested and will face charges in the Plettenberg Bay Magistrate’s Court.

In a separate breakthrough, Riversdale police, working alongside the Public Order Police in George, arrested six suspects aged between 19 and 26. The group is linked to the April killing of 30-year-old Lourens Ntozini, who was found severely injured on Varkie Street and later died in hospital. Another suspect, already in custody for a different case, will also be charged, bringing the total number of arrests in that matter to seven.

The arrests mark a major step in tackling violent crime in the district, as police continue to intensify operations aimed at bringing justice to victims and their families.

The killings happened as officers were transporting Moyo from court. Police say he managed to take a firearm from one of the detectives and used it to carry out the attack. He remains armed and is considered extremely dangerous.

The National Police Commissioner has deployed maximum resources to track him down, including crime intelligence units, detectives, specialised tracking teams, and the HAWKS. Authorities are urging the public not to hide Moyo and to report any information on his whereabouts immediately.

Police officials have warned that an attack on law enforcement is an attack on the state itself. They have vowed to bring Moyo to justice and prevent him from committing further crimes.

The Acting Police Minister condemned the killings and extended condolences to the families, colleagues, and friends of the slain officers, calling their deaths a stark reminder of the risks police face in the line of duty.

The tragedy comes just weeks before the annual SAPS Commemoration Day, when the country honours officers who have died while serving their communities.

Officers from the provincial operational command centre acted on a tip-off about possible drug activity at a residence in the area. When they searched the property, they uncovered not just the large amount of cash, but also a bag filled with bank cards belonging to different people.

According to police spokesperson Captain Frederick van Wyk, the people at the scene couldn’t give a valid explanation for having the items. A 38-year-old foreign national was taken into custody on suspicion of being in possession of stolen property and conspiring to commit cybercrime.

The investigation is now in the hands of detectives from the organised crime and commercial unit, who are expected to consider additional charges as they gather more evidence.

The suspect is scheduled to appear in the Cape Town Magistrate’s Court on Thursday.
