National police commissioner Khehla Sitole and the presidency on Wednesday evening declined to be drawn on media reports suggesting that the country's top cop had been served with a notice of intention to suspend him.
National police spokesperson Brig Vish Naidoo said he could not confirm or deny an enquiry about the purported notice. The fight between Sitole and Ipid centred on allegations of corruption and the refusal of police top brass to declassify documents which the watchdog required to conduct an investigation.
