Minister Marais welcomes the arrest of accused in Khayelitsha mass murder case

Acting Minister of Community Safety, Anroux Marais, welcomes the confirmed arrest of a suspect in connection with the multiple mass murder cases being investigated in Khayelitsha.

Minister Marais said, “We are indeed grateful for this breakthrough and that progress has been made in this ongoing investigation. The suspect’s arrest does offer some consolation. We will track the case in court, through our Court Watching Briefs and will also follow up with the South African Police Service (SAPS) to monitor progress and get the relevant CAS number.”

The Western Cape Government wholeheartedly thanks the SAPS and partners in safety for their work in this matter. We offer our support, through the Department of Community Safety, to them as needs be, so that we can ensure that a thorough investigation is conducted so that the suspect(s) faces the full might of the law.
