T is still not clear why Siyabulela Mboya (33), a South African Police Service (SAPS) Constable shot and fatally wounded his off-duty police officer wife, Sergeant Zintle Mboya, (also 33), at her place of residence in Goede Hoop Avenue, Fairbridge Heights, Uitenhage on Sunday evening. According to SAPS Uitenhage police spokesperson Warrant Officer Basil Seekoei, Fairbridge Height neighbours head gunshots fired and alerted the police who ran to the scene for investigation. Upon arrival at about 9pm, police found the two lifeless bodies lying in a pool of blood. According to W.O. Seekoei the preliminary investigations indicated that const. Siyabulela Mboya, a SAPS member stationed at Kirkwood who was also off-duty, shot her and then (shot) himself.” A police firearm was found on the scene. while the motive of the murder was unknown, according to the police spokesperson. Die Burger newspaper reported yesterday, that a colleague of const Mboya, who prefers not to be named and stays close to the Mboya home, said two of the couple’s three children, a boy aged (6) and daughter (3) were home when the incident occurred. According to the colleague the children are being taken care of by family members. A relative who knew the couple well, and who also spoke to PE Express Indaba on condition of anonymity, said he was shocked but not surprised by the incident as it was bound to happen. The couple stayed in KwaNobuhle township before they moved to the house in Fairbridge Heights on the outskirts of Uitenhage. The friend said that the couple was very much in love, but they were always quarrelling and that the husband was “short-tempered”.

It is frustrating to lose young minds and people from the security cluster whose services we valued in the fight against crime in the metro and

surrounding areas,” said Nelson Mandela Bay municipal spokesperson Mthubanzi Mniki. Mniki added, “We also hope their colleagues understand that there are places available for assistance should they find themselves under duress.” W/O Seekoei told PE Express Indaba that

they did not want to speculate at this early stage of their investigation. Instead, he said, the SAPS Management in the Eastern Cape expressed their deepest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of the deceased. Police were investigating two cases of murder, said W/O Seekoei.
