The woman had multiple gunshots to the upper body, and the man had one gunshot to the side of his head. They were transported to the hospital for medical attention but unfortunately succumbed to their injuries,' says Ledwaba.

Bogus cops demand money to release people from custody
Northern Cape police have warned of a scam in which unsuspecting victims are asked for money in exchange for the release of a loved one from custody. Police spokesperson said Kimberley police were urging the public to remain vigilant. 'During investigations, authorities identified a scam whereby the victim receives notification telephonically from an alleged SAPS official indicating that a person known to them has been arrested. The scammer then demands payment, and money is to be deposited via a supermarket,' she said. Ehlers said police officers did not request payment from the public. She urged the public to refrain from depositing money if approached. 'Always exercise caution when dealing with online and telephonic communications. If in doubt, contact your bank or the police directly,' she said. Suspicious activities can be reported via the My SAPS app or the Crime Stop number 08600 10111. In the event of extortion, the national hotline can be reached on 0800 911 011. News24 previously reported that online scam artists were impersonating SAPS officials looking for a bribe as part of an elaborate ploy. The scammers allegedly used people's compromised personal information to gain their trust. The scam starts with someone claiming to be from South Africa's communications regulator before the scammers pass targets on to fake SAPS detectives. They charge as much as R10 000 to make 'cases' disappear.

Wanted suspect killed in shoot out with police in Kagiso
Police engage in a tense shootout with a wanted suspect at an illegal mining site in Kagiso, highlighting the ongoing battle against crime in Gauteng. A suspect believed to have opened fire on police earlier this month was killed during a confrontation with law enforcement officers at an illegal mining site in Kagiso. According to Gauteng police, the man was wanted for a June 3 incident in which he allegedly shot at officers in the Zamimpilo Informal Settlement. Acting on intelligence, members of Operation Vala Umgodi tracked him to Soul City Informal Settlement, where he was reportedly involved in illegal mining activity. During the operation on Friday, June 13, the suspect fired on police officers as they approached, triggering a shootout. He was fatally wounded in the exchange. A pistol used by the suspect was recovered at the scene and will undergo ballistic testing to determine whether it was used in other crimes. The SAPS said Operation Vala Umgodi - an ongoing initiative targeting illegal mining syndicates - continues to dismantle illicit operations across Gauteng. Police have urged the public to report any suspicious or criminal activity related to illegal mining to their nearest station or anonymously via Crime Stop at 08600 10111.
