ActionSA in the Tshwane Region is appalled by the gruesome murder of two community patrollers in the Marry Me informal settlement and strongly calls for no bail for the two suspects arrested in connection with the crime.
According to reports, the suspects – both alleged to be illegal foreign nationals – were found in possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition when they were apprehended. They are linked to a string of violent crimes, including multiple murders and robberies committed in the area last month. They now face charges of murder, attempted murder, and possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition.
“The murder of these brave individuals who sacrificed their time to protect their community is a tragedy that demands urgent and decisive action,” said Derick Mahlangu, ActionSA Tshwane Regional Chairperson. “We unequivocally call for no bail to be granted to these suspects.
“Criminals, especially repeat offenders and illegal immigrants, must face the full might of the law.”
ActionSA continues to call for a thorough review of South Africa’s immigration policies and border control mechanisms. “This is yet another painful reminder of how porous borders and lax immigration enforcement enable criminal elements to infiltrate our communities with ease,” Mahlangu said. “South Africans cannot continue living in fear while dangerous individuals roam freely with no consequences.”
ActionSA urges the Marry Me community and all residents to remain vigilant and work closely with law enforcement by reporting any suspicious activity. “Community safety is a shared responsibility, and we must all play our part,” he added.
To the families and loved ones of the victims, ActionSA extends its deepest condolences. “We cannot begin to understand the pain you are enduring, but we stand in solidarity with you and will continue to fight for justice on your behalf,” said Mahlangu.
ActionSA will monitor this case closely to ensure it is not lost in the system. The safety and security of our communities must always come first.
