As station commissioner, he served the Orkney community since September 2021. He thanked the members and staff at Orkney police station for the dedication, hard work and commitment to the Orkney community.

He was killed in the early hours of Friday November 21 after suffering a gunshot wound to his chest during a home invasion. Robbers gained entry through a bedroom window and woke the dad and his children. That is when the nightmare started.

Klerksdorp Record, Klerksdorp - The community is “used” to bad service delivery - power cuts, potholes, and sewage running down the street. Nothing, however, could have prepared residents staying in the northern suburbs for the three-day blackout that hit them this week.
The power went off at around 10:00 on Sunday November 23. Those who have solar or invertors running on Eskom power were blissfully unaware. Those without emergency power were immediately left powerless.
