National Police Commissioner, General Fannie Masemola says Constable, Keamogetswe Buys was deployed in a very scarce skill environment within the South African Police Service SAPS and her knowledge will be missed.
He was speaking at her funeral service at the Grassland Community Hall in Bloemfontein.
Buys was among three police constables whose bodies were retrieved from the Hennops river in Centurion, Pretoria.
Masemola says he initially did not know what to tell the families because no one knew where they were.
He explained to mourners the process police followed to ultimately find the three Constables.
