Four police officers have been arrested in connection with the killing of Mthokozisi Ntumba, the bystander who was shot dead amid protesting by Wits students last week. In another twist, Cele on Monday denied allegations by EFF leader Julius Malema that he reneged on promises made to Ntumba’s family. Cele said he visited Ntumba’s family on Thursday to pay condolences to the family and to demonstrate a commitment toward swift action and full accountability. Cele said he assured the family that the SAPS will cooperate fully with the IPID investigation into Ntumba’s death. During his visit to Ntumba’s family residence on Sunday, Malema said his party will support the family financially to bury their loved one.
