The Johannesburg metro police department (JMPD) is so broke that it cannot afford to fill up its patrol vehicles.
Some petrol stations that would usually fuel JMPD vehicles have even confiscated the unit's petrol cards due to non-payment, while others have blocked them.

We will not keep quiet about your death. An illegal immigrant allowed by systems of this country caused your death and the police waited until we made noise to attend to your situation.

Undocumented Pakistani National Akilesh Gupta Arrested After Allegedly Running Over and Killing 53-Year-Old Policewoman Ennice Nortman at Lichtenburg Mall
Warrant Officer Ennice Nortman, 53, attached to North West Provincial Crime Intelligence in the Ngaka Modiri Molema District, died after being struck by a white SUV at Lichtenburg Mall along Dr Nelson Mandela Drive on Monday afternoon, 19 October 2026. Nortman was on duty when the incident occurred and was taken to hospital with serious injuries before dying later that evening.
The driver, 23-year-old undocumented Pakistani national Akilesh Gupta, was arrested following the incident. He appeared before the Lichtenburg Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, 21 October, facing a murder charge, with further charges relating to an alleged contravention of immigration legislation also being investigated. He was remanded in custody until Tuesday, 27 October 2026.
CCTV footage circulating on social media appears to show Nortman walking towards a raised pedestrian crossing before the SUV accelerates and strikes her. The vehicle continues over a small island and collides with traffic cones and another vehicle. The driver then exits and begins walking away before being pursued. Police have urged the public not to share the footage, warning that it could compromise the investigation.
North West Provincial Commissioner Lieutenant General Arthur Peter Adams has expressed condolences following Nortman’s death, which comes after the separate fatal collision involving Constable Itumeleng Johannes Pule on 18 October. Gupta remains in custody, and the case is ongoing.
