On Sunday 2024-05-19 at about 21H10 police responded to a police assistance complain.
It is alleged that two African males adults were inside the Ratanda Shoprite Supermarket and they were searched and 250ml bottle of Betadine was found inside the trouser and they were immediately arrested for shoplifting around 08h00.
The suspects were taken to the back, in a cage where they were kept, while waiting for the police to take over. While detained at shoprite premises around 16h00 Bandile Tshabalala (33) asked for a toilet and he was escorted to the toilet. Bandile told the security guards that he was having stomach pains and paramedics were called to assist.
Unfortunately a 33 year old Bandile Tshabalala didn't make it and family was notified about the incident.
"Currently police are still on the scene of crime to gather more information about what might have transpired and Investigation officers are busy gathering the witnesses that were kept together with the victim." according to Ratanda SAPS Incorporate communications office Captain Maluleke
"Ratanda saps will update on the changes of the incident through the witness statement obtained."
Unfortunately police were called around closing time.
On the arrival of the Paramedics the deceased was declared dead at about 20h58 at Ratanda mall shoprite entrance.
Ratanda saps want to emphasize that community must stop posting negative and incomplete nor rumours which might ruin the progress of the case opened or to take law into their own hands and let justice take its course.
