"The assailants are still at large, and the officer's service gun has disappeared. The motive for the killing is not yet known," he said.
Maremane said the loss of a police officer was a setback in the fight against crime.
"A law enforcer is a symbol of peace for the community and a shadow for community protection. We must not be intimidated by the ruthless and heartless criminals who continue to terrorise our community," he said.
