Police spokesperson Brigadier Novela Potelwa in a statement said the “twenty- nine- year- old Constable Sitofile, who lived in Khayelitsha, was attached to the Phillipi East police station.”
“He had worked at the station for three-and-a-half years,” said
“His colleagues at Phillipi East police station described the death as a tragic loss of a quiet member who was dedicated to his work.”
“The Western Cape SAPS management has conveyed heartfelt condolences to the constable’s family and colleagues,” Brigadier Potelwa added.
