Soldiers implicated in the death of Alexandra resident Collins Khosa have been found to have acted improperly, irregularly and in contravention of their code of conduct.
The ombud does not deal with criminal investigations, but has a responsibility with regards to the behaviour of SANDF members at any particular time, whether the code of conduct and rules were observed.
“I have also written a letter to the office of the military ombud to express a word of appreciation but also to commit that we will indeed comply with the recommendations of his report.”DA MP Sarel Marais had asked the minister whether the implicated SANDF members had been suspended and whether they were earning full salaries while on suspension.
