An undisclosed number of Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department (JMPD) officers have been suspended in connection to the death of Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) councilor Moshe Mphahlele.
Mphahlele died after being shot during a protest in Bramley near Alexandra, Johannesburg, on Sunday.
According to the EFF in Gauteng, the City of Joburg councilor was engaging in a “peaceful service delivery program” advocating for social housing when he was killed.
The circumstances surrounding Mphahlele’s death are being investigated by the South African Police Service (Saps).
