Meyer shocked by murder of Public Works official

He was responding to the murder of Zandile Ngcobo, a department official who was shot dead along with her 11-year-old son in their home in Pietermaritzburg on Sunday evening.

Ngcobo was pregnant.

Police investigating homicides say a six-year-old child is the only survivor.

It is now that today the country begins observing 16 days without violence against women and children.

Speaking at a media briefing in Durban, Meyer said the incident reminds us why this campaign is important.

“The news is still a bit vague, it seems that it was an acquaintance of the family who committed the murder. As a department we have been in contact with the man. Another child saw this happen and it is absolutely unacceptable. that we live in a society where this still happens.”
