Western Cape Minister of Police Oversight and Community Safety, Anroux Marais, has welcomed the arrest of a suspect in connection with the murder of former Knysna Executive Mayor, Aubrey Tsengwa.
The mayor was gunned down while sitting in his car in August this year.
Police say the 44-year-old suspect was tracked down and arrested in Peddie in the Eastern Cape.
Two other suspects are also currently in custody for the murder.
Marais has commended the police’s Political Killings Task Team for their investigative work.
“A successful prosecution must now follow. We cannot allow those who orchestrate and carry out deadly attacks to get away with their heinous acts. There must be lasting consequences.”
