The former watchdog body boss has testified about the so-called Zimbabwe rendition case and the trumped-up allegations levelled against the police involved.
PRETORIA - Former Independent Police Investigative Directorate head Robert McBride has warned private law firms appointed to investigate constitutionally created bodies like Ipid to tread carefully or risk undermining their independence.
“Private legal companies, especially with a good reputation like Werksmans, should not easily take up cases that impinge on the independence of constitution created bodies. They must exercise more caution.”‘SINISTER MOTIVES‘ A preliminary report, signed off under his predecessor, implicated the senior police officials, while a later final report under his watch exonerated them.McBride says the preliminary report relied on by Nhleko was produced under the leadership of his predecessor and based solely on evidence gathered by Crime Intelligence.
