Slain Anti-Gang Unit officer Tlometsane laid to rest in Limpopo
Tlometsane, one of two anti-gang officers killed in Reiger Park, will be buried in Zebediela.
Constable Thapelo Tlometsane, a member of the Anti-Gang Unit, has been laid to rest in his hometown of Gedroogde, located in the province of Limpopo. The funeral service took place on Sunday morning, coinciding with the earlier burial of his colleague, Constable Sphiwe Sibeko, in Springs. Tlometsane was killed in an ambush alongside Sibeko in Reiger Park, a town east of Johannesburg, last Friday.
The incident claimed the lives of two civilian women as well. Tlometsane's brother, David, fondly remembers him as a disciplined and reserved individual who would complete tasks promptly and maintained a constant smile.
