The South African Police Service (SAPS) has conducted several investigations
against the same person whose affidavit is being trumpeted by the Mail and
Guardian as "evidence." The SAPS investigations against this person and others
were in connection with a series of serious offences and were conducted in a
thorough and objective fashion.
The investigations have been finalised and the case dockets, a dozen in
total, were handed over to the appropriate authority earlier this year for
decision as to prosecution. The National Commissioner of the SAPS has no doubt
that the real facts will be revealed as time progresses and that his name will
be cleared.
As we enter the holiday season, which inevitably places a great deal of
responsibility on the South African Police Service, the National Commissioner
will be concentrating on his official duties.
