Collins Chabane Municipality mayor shot dead in robbery at home<\/p>\n

When they didn’t comply, the gunmen opened fire.<\/p>\n

Mathe said:<\/p>\n

Police have since launched a 72-hour activation plan.<\/p>\n

National police commissioner, General Fannie Masemola, directed provincial police commissioner, Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe, to “mobilise maximum resources to apprehend those responsible for the murder”, Mathe said.<\/p>\n

A case of murder and attempted murder was registered.<\/p>\n

“Members of the public who know or may have witnessed what transpired are encouraged to report to the Saselamani police station or call the Crime Stop hotline number on 08600 10111 to assist police investigations,” Mathe added.<\/p>\n
