Transport, community safety and liaison MEC Peggy Nkonyeni has appointed a task team led by head of department Siboniso Mbhele after the double murder.
The provincial transport department said the case had been assigned to the Hawks, who were on the ground with forensic teams to speed up the investigation.
“This is brazen criminality, and we find it unacceptable that our members were killed in the line of duty. Traffic officers are an important part of our society as they serve to protect communities against lawlessness and irresponsible drivers, who are killing our people every day on the road,” Mbhele said in a statement.
“We also appeal to everyone with information to share [it] with the police,” he added.
