The 35-year-old, who worked at the OR Tambo District Municipality's budget and treasury office, was shot dead outside her home last month.
It was also newly-appointed National Police Commissioner Sehlahle Masemola’s first appearance before MPs since he was tapped for the job.
National Police Commissioner Fannie Masemola said that the deaths of two police officers and dog from its Durban Search and Rescue unit in the KwaZulu-Natal floods were a blow to the organisation.
More than 30 members of the tactical response team, over 20 from public order policing and some officials from the national intervention unit have been stationed in Diepsloot since Wednesday night.
General Fannie Masemola said that he would be working with his management team to ensure officers did what they were employed to do.
Fannie Masemola, who served as deputy commissioner, is being described as the right fit for the task given his many years of experience within the police service.
The 58-year-old Masemola is a former police deputy national commissioner, who is a career cop, experienced and knows what needs to be done to fix the country's ailing police service.
