File photo.The Independent Policing Union of SA says the suspension of national police commissioner Khehla Sitole would be justified as the SA Police Service has not performed under his leadership.
On Wednesday, media reported that President Cyril Ramaphosa had sent Sitole a notice of intention to suspend him, but Sitole would not be drawn on the matter. He referred TimesLIVE to police spokesperson Vish Naidoo, who said he could neither confirm nor deny an enquiry about the purported notice.
Civil claims against the SAPS have rocketed to more than R160bn, Ipusa noted, adding, “Crime Intelligence has been in shambles for a very long time and there seems to be no strategic plan by the commissioner to rescue SAPS from its forever dwindling image.
