Slain LEAP officer 32-year-old Zamikhaya Kwinana was with colleagues patrolling the Nyanga township when they came under fire over the weekend as taxi strikes rocked Cape Town.
Geordin Hill-Lewis and mayco member for safety and security JP Smith visited Kwinana's family to convey their condolences and update them on the investigation.
“We are being asked to negotiate with people who are responsible for this. I cannot come and look at Mrs Kwinana, his sister and his four little children and his mother on the weekend and say that we are negotiating with the people who did this. It's not acceptable. We will not negotiate with people who have got a very literal gun to our head,” he said.
