THE PROVINCIAL management of the SAPS has conveyed heartfelt condolences following the death of the provincial head of organised crime Brigadier Dick de Waal on May 14.
De Waal was the investigating officer in a number of high-profile cases including the triple family murder of the Steenkamp family on their farm in Griekwastad, the G4S security cash heist where R30 million went missing, the murder of the Pofadder hotel owner Leon Brits and the murder and kidnapping of the Brand family in Hartswater.

Illicit liquor valued at R10 million was seized by police during a raid on a Douglas house in the Northern Cape on Friday 9 April.
The imported alcohol came through the borders of South Africa illegally, explained police spokesperson Colonel Mashay Gamieldien.
A 50-year-old man was arrested and charged with possession of illicit alcohol.
He was further charged for attempting to bribe a police official after he allegedly offered the police R170 000 to turn a blind eye.
After the cash was counted, it was seized as evidence, said Gamieldien.
