Fs Premier Laments Discovery Of Bodies Of Three Missing Saps Officers

Free State Premier MaQueen Letsoha-Mathae says its a sad day for the province following confirmation that three of the five bodies found at the Hennops River in Centurion are those of the missing police officers.

The officers who are originally from the Free State went missing last week while travelling from Bloemfontein to Limpopo for their deployment.

The vehicle they were travelling in was last spotted on camera at the Brakfontein interchange on the N1 driving north, which led the police to search the Hennops River.

Letsoha-Mathae says they are hopeful that the police will find the cause of their deaths.

But what we just heard really it is sad. It is sad for the province it is sad for the Free State government. These were young people. Their future was bright, because their deployment, if you track their ranks, their portfolios those are portfolios of bright people, says Letsoha-Mathae.
