Memorial Service to Honour Three Police Constables Found in Hennops River After N1 Bridge Tragedy
A memorial service is set to begin in Bloemfontein to honour the lives of three police constables whose bodies were recovered from the Hennops River in Centurion last week. The officers are believed to have died following an accident on the N1 bridge, though details surrounding the incident remain under investigation.
The tragic discovery has shaken both the South African Police Service (SAPS) and the wider public, prompting an outpouring of condolences and calls for answers. As preparations for the memorial take place, colleagues, friends, and family members are gathering to pay their final respects to the fallen officers, who served their communities with dedication.
While the exact cause of the accident is still being determined, authorities have not ruled out the possibility of adverse weather or structural issues playing a role. The incident has raised renewed concerns about road safety and the wellbeing of officers on duty.
Today’s service stands as both a tribute and a solemn reminder of the risks faced by those in uniform every day.
