Acting National Police Commissioner Puleng Dimpane has appointed a multidisciplinary team to probe the murder of March and March Gauteng leader Andile Somgaxa.
Somgaxa was shot in the driveway of his home in Greenfield, Johannesburg earlier this month and succumbed to his injuries last week.
March and March led mass anti-illegal immigration demonstrations across the country on June 30th, after issuing an unofficial deadline for undocumented foreign nationals to leave South Africa.
The multidisciplinary team is comprised of seasoned detectives and crime intelligence officers.
Police Spokesperson Athlenda Mathe said that the appointment underscores the seriousness with which SAPS is treating this matter.
“Lieutenant General Dimpane has strongly condemned the attack and assured the public that SAPS will leave no stone unturned in ensuring that those responsible are identified, traced and brought to justice.”
