KZN Cops ‘no more surprises’ at multiple crime scenes a day

He was addressing the men and women in blue at the KZN excellence awards held at the Durban ICC on Friday.

“One day it can be complete mayhem, the next day complete harmony. Multiple crime scenes a day are no longer a surprise in this state, but police officers always weather the storm.”

He says the number of crimes police will have to deal with in the 2023/24 financial year will be eventful.

“A total of 151 mass murder incidents in which two or more people were killed were recorded in KwaZulu-Natal during the year under review.

“380 people were murdered in these incidents and the police managed to catch 67 suspects.

“The murder of famous musician Kiernan ‘AKA’ Forbes and his friend Tebello ‘Tibz’ Motsoane in February last year put police in KwaZulu-Natal under the spotlight.”
