KwaZulu-Natal Premier Senzo Mchunu has received a report from the RTI Commission of Inquiry appointed to investigate and report on the recruitment process which resulted in the death of eight prospective candidates participating in a fitness test conducted on 27 December 2012 has finished its work.
“As I promised last week during the state of the province address, the RTI Commission has handed over the report to me today, 1 July 2014.”
“I will study the report and I will also ensure that it is tabled before the Provincial Executive Council and acted upon.”
“In my address last week I pointed out that we are glad that the commission has finally finished its work after delays caused by requests from commissioners who wanted to interrogate more evidence.”
“I further emphasised that as government we attached importance to thoroughness in the execution of the work of this nature. Some in other quarters used our attention to detail to create the impression that we were deliberately prolonging the anguish of the families of the victims.”
“When I received the report today my thoughts were with the affected families. We will endeavour to ensure that they are informed of all the processes moving forward.”
