Another officer was wounded.
Molefe wants government to take urgent action.
"KZN has already increased the number of police officers that have killed.
"Now we take KZN as a hotspot when it comes to terms of police killings. Those who kill police, when they are arrested, they must never see the sun again and police killings must be treated as treason."
