SA Police Launch Manhunt For Zimbabwean Man After He Murders SAPS Officers

South African police services has launched a manhunt for a Zimbabwean fugitive after he went on the run after killing SAPS officers.

A high-priority police operation is currently hunting Jabulani Thabang Moyo, a Zimbabwean citizen wanted for the execution-style murder of two South African Police Service detectives in Roodepoort this week.

Moyo is currently on the run after the two gruesome murders and has been giving authorities the slip.
