Cape Town’s Safety and Security Directorate held a ceremony to honor the lives of Zamikhaya Kwinana and Toufeek Williams, two Learner Law Enforcement Officers (LLEO) who lost their lives in the line of duty. The ceremony was a somber reminder of the risks faced by those dedicated to public safety.
LLEO Kwinana was killed in Nyanga during a violent taxi strike, while LLEO Williams was caught in gang crossfire while off duty in Beacon Valley, Mitchells Plain. Both officers were in their thirties and committed to serving and protecting their communities.
Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis addressed the mourners, highlighting the importance of preserving the rule of law in a democracy. He acknowledged the ongoing challenges facing South Africa and Cape Town, including lawlessness, anarchy, and a collapse of values. The Mayor vowed to combat chaos and lawlessness in honor of the sacrifices made by the fallen officers.
Alderman JP Smith honored the lives and commitment to service of Kwinana and Williams. He pledged to pursue those responsible for their deaths and urged anyone with information about the incidents to come forward.
The ceremony served as a testimony to the dedication and commitment of Kwinana and Williams, who were devoted family men striving to make their communities safer for their own children and those around them. The impact of their sacrifice was palpable, and the ceremony affirmed the ongoing commitment to protect and serve the people of Cape Town.
