Johannesburg – Former police minister Nkosinathi Nhleko has defended himself from allegations he had interfered with the independence of the Independent Police Investigative Directorate during his tenure.
In his testimony, McBride said while a preliminary report into the matter recommended that Dramat and Sibiya be suspended and prosecuted, a final report, which he submitted to Nhleko, absolved them and instead recommended that then-Hawks cross-border desk head Leslie Maluleke be held accountable. “That point has been articulated as the eagerness of the minister to interfere with the independence of Ipid and that is incorrect,” he said.
