SAPS have also noted with concern the sporadic incidents of revenge attacks in the Province and strongly condemn such incidents.
The condemnation follows after an incident which took place on Sunday 14 January 2018 at about 14:00. It is alleged that two jikeleza taxi drivers, who were best friends, had an argument in Sisulu Street, NU30, Motherwell, which led to the murder of one of them.
Mabuti Maya (34) was allegedly stabbed in his chest by his best friend, Bulelani Ndalambu (28) after arguing over jikeleza taxi fare money. Shortly after the stabbing, the community gathered and chased after Bulelani and out of revenge, killed him by setting him alight.
“Violent and unlawful behavior will not be tolerated. We urge the community to stand together and stop these illegal activities. There is no justification in taking the law into their own hands and under no circumstances will we allow this to happen. Those responsible for the murder will be arrested and brought before court,” said Lieutenant General Liziwe Ntshinga.
