MASOYI – Local police have raised a grave concern over the number of murder cases they have to deal with on a weekly basis.

According to the police, a body is discovered almost every week, usually with stab or gunshot wounds.

“We are still searching for the Pump Gun Gang members whom we believe might be linked to most of the murders.

However, some murders take place after drinking sprees over the weekend,”said Const Naniki Nonyane.

She further urged community members to be their brothers’ keepers and report anything suspicious happening around the community.
