The Provincial Commissioner of the police in Gauteng, Lieutenant General Elias Mawela has applauded the detectives in the province for their continuous endeavours in ensuring that victims of crime get justice through securing lengthy sentences in court.
This came after the detectives from different stations and Provincial units collectively secured 12 life imprisonment terms and 597 years imprisonment for various counts including murder, rape and business robbery amongst others.
Recently, the Palm Ridge Court sentenced Kamohelo Mohapi to two life imprisonment for the brutal murder and rape of a mother and her nine-year-old child at Zonkesizwe on 10 July 2018.
It was through meticulous investigation and DNA analysis that Mohapi was linked to this gruesome act.
“These convictions are a clear indication of our members’ commitment and dedication in serving communities and ensuring perpetrators face the might of the law”, said Lt Gen Mawela.
