Detective accused of shooting over gizzard dispute
The incident allegedly happened in the early hours of Sunday, 12 July 2026, at BK Lifestyle Café in Sebokeng. According to reports, 34-year-old Detective Constable Elias Moeketsi Pinkoane, who is attached to the Orange Farm SAPS Detective Branch, was off duty when he visited the café in a state vehicle.
As the venue prepared to close, Pinkoane and his companion reportedly joined a queue to buy gizzards. An argument broke out after one of three men ahead of them allegedly attempted to buy all the remaining gizzards.
Police allege that Pinkoane then walked back to the state vehicle, retrieved his service pistol and returned before opening fire through the car window.
One man died at the scene, another sustained injuries and was taken to hospital, while the third escaped unharmed. Investigators later recovered spent cartridges at the café and inside the state vehicle.
Pinkoane was arrested later that day at his home and now faces charges of murder and attempted murder in the Sebokeng Magistrates' Court. SAPS has also confirmed that internal disciplinary proceedings have been initiated alongside the criminal case.
