RobertMcBride tells StateCaptureInquiry Ipid was weakened to cover up crimes
Former Independent Police Investigative Directorate head Robert McBride on Thursday gave the commission of inquiry into state capture some examples used to capture law enforcement agencies, including the National Prosecuting Authority , which has weakened South Africa’s criminal justice system.
McBride told the commission that Panday faced allegations of attempting to bribe former KZN Hawks boss Johan Booysen. “There was, from the onset, no case, no evidence,” McBride told the commission, adding that the accused were at some stage refused access to certain documents related to the case. He said he was not the only one to come to this conclusion, making reference to a public statement that he, former Hawks head Anwa Dramat, and former Sars deputy commissioner Ivan Pillay around 2015, 2016 issued a public statement raising concerns about a concerted effort to weaken anti-corruption and crime-fighting bodies in the country for nefarious reasons.
