JOHANNESBURG - The Zondo commission of inquiry has heard how the heads of the Independent Police Investigative Directorate and Hawks were removed through a calculated series of events, effectively de
stroying their independence.
Former Ipid head Robert McBride has testified about the events leading up to his arrest and those of then Hawks boss Anwa Dramat and the provincial head of the unit, Shadrack Sibiya, in separate cases. McBride has testified how false allegations of impropriety and criminal conduct were used as the pretext to suspend and prosecute officials perceived as obstacles to efforts to capture the institutions.He took the commission through intercepting timelines of events that happened to him, Dramat and Sibiya. They were all falsely accused of wrongdoing then suspended and later hauled off to court on trumped-up charges.
