Hlomuka says the murder of Prince Mthunzi Mathenjwa is disheartening, and they hope the police will make a breakthrough in the case soon.


Mathenjwa's been provincial CPF chairperson since 2017. 


The department's spokesperson Sindiswa Hlophe says the killing has sent shock waves in the community of King Cetshwayo District, where he was known as a peacemaker.
