Cape Town – Family members of slain police officer Sibusiso Gqadushe are yet to give him a dignified send-off after their plans to travel as a family to the Eastern Cape were dealt a blow.

Gqadushe, 36, of Makhaza, was off-duty on March 21 when two suspects entered his house and killed him.

Police spokesperson FC van Wyk said detectives were still following up on leads.

Gqadushe’s widow, Phumela, said the family had planned to bury him in his hometown this weekend.

“The first time we heard about the regulations relating to funerals we were a bit concerned. Then we thought since we are the immediate family we won’t have a problem, and went ahead with the funeral arrangements for Saturday.
