The 32-year-old was a prominent member of the Manguzi Policing Forum and actively fought against cross-border crime. 


Tembe's also the nephew of the local Tembe Clan Chief, Inkosi Mabhudu Tembe. 


"What is more concerning is that this incident comes just a week after the murder of another prominent fighter against the Manguzi cross-border crime syndicate, Judah Mthethwa. Police must scour every corner to find those responsible for these callous murders," said KZN Premier Nomusa Dube-Ncube.
