Acting President Paul Mashatile has paid tribute to the 39 South African Police Service (SAPS) officers who were killed in the line of duty during the 2023/24 financial year.
On Sunday, at the SAPS Memorial Site in Pretoria, a large contingent of SAPS police officers and government officials came together at the Union Buildings in Pretoria to honour the men and women who put their lives on the line and died in the line of duty.
Police Minister Senzo Mchunu and National Police Commissioner Fannie Masemola were also in attendance.
The families of the slain officers, including children, wives and husbands, were also in attendance, with the children sat on the grass in front of the deputy president, the minister and the top government officials.
On this National Police Commemoration Day, we have gathered to pay tribute to our fallen men and women in blue.
