Mpumalanga traffic law enforcement officers urged to be cautious on duty after officer's death

JOHANNESBURG - Mpumalanga Safety MEC Jackie Macie has issued a warning to traffic law enforcement officers to exercise extreme caution while on duty.

This plea follows the tragic death of officer Jabulani Ndlovu, who was hit by a minibus taxi on the N2 between Piet Retief and Ermelo on Friday.

Ndlovu was reportedly attempting to stop the taxi during a speed enforcement operation when the accident occurred.

He succumbed to his injuries while receiving treatment at a nearby hospital.

Mpumalanga’s safety department spokesperson, Moeti Mmusi, said police were investigating a case of culpable homicide.
