PSA calls for urgent action following fatal Eastern Cape police ambush

The Public Servants’ Association (PSA) has expressed grave concern over the ongoing killing of police officers, calling for immediate intervention to safeguard law enforcement personnel.

The union’s demand follows a recent ambush in Ngangelizwe, Eastern Cape, which resulted in the death of one officer and left another in critical condition.

 According to a statement released by the PSA, this incident is a stark reflection of growing lawlessness and represents a broader, disturbing pattern of attacks directed at police officers across South Africa.

PSA spokesperson Thami Makuzeni has called for the urgent formation of a dedicated provincial task team to investigate the attack. Makuzeni emphasised the need for swift justice, stating that the perpetrators must be apprehended within a week.
