The SA Police Service has called for a heightened collaborative approach and co-operation between communities and police after an officer was killed and two others wounded in two separate incidents.

A case of murder and armed robbery have been registered and no arrests have been made yet,” she said.

The two front tyres of the police Nyala have also been damaged as a result of the shooting. A case of attempted murder and malicious damage to property have been registered, said Mathe.
