Family of slain Emfuleni official hoping for speedy arrests

The family of the slain finance official at the Emfuleni Municipality, Martha Rantsofu, is hoping for the speedy arrest of those behind her murder.

Speaking outside her home in Sebokeng in the Vaal, the family says they still believe her demise is related to the work she was doing at the municipality.

A video surfaced on social media last month showing her being gunned down execution-style.

Her case is being investigated by the Political Killings Task Team in Gauteng.

Her brother Tefo Rantsofu says they are in contact with the police and are hoping for justice.

“I did speak to them yesterday. I was told by one of the investigating officers that they are still digging, but as soon as there is a breakthrough in this, they will come forward and tell us what they have found so far.”
