“We should be very careful that this matter doesn’t fan the fires of race, we should always work hard to avoid that.”

Cele revealed that there was an element of tension around the probe during the memorial service for Constable Thando Sigcu in Green Point, Cape Town, on Thursday.

According to the police, while Sigcu was engaged in a tussle with the suspect, two city law enforcement officers stopped at the scene. Shots were fired which killed Sigcu. The suspect was also injured and is in a coma in hospital. “Somebody has died here, the questions are justified. You are asking the questions that I have asked. This member of SAPS died on the 7th and today is the 16th, it’s a week plus.
