It is with profound sadness that the City of Johannesburg Department of Public Safety announces the passing of Mr David Tembe, Strategic Advisor to the Member of the Mayoral Committee (MMC) for Public Safety, Dr Mgcini Tshwaku.

Mr Tembe, the former Chief of the Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department (JMPD) and former MMC for Public Safety, was found unresponsive at his private residence yesterday.
