Parliament's Police Portfolio Committee Chairperson Ian Cameron wants his committee and the Justice and Constitutional Development Portfolio Committee to discuss the dispute between the SAPS and IDAC.
The Portfolio Committee on Police is seeking a meeting with its Justice and Constitutional Development Portfolio Committee counterpart to discuss a public drama that unfolded between law enforcement agencies at the Brooklyn police station in Pretoria last week.
The drama played itself out in public when Crime Intelligence head Lieutenant-General Dumisani Khumalo and the entity’s Intelligence Analysis and Co-ordination head Major-General Nosipho Madondo presented themselves at the police station to be arrested by the National Prosecuting Authority’s (NPA) Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC).
However, the two waited for the whole day at the police station without IDAC officers showing up to effect the arrest warrants.
NPA spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago later issued a press statement, saying that IDAC postponed the arrests, as Khumalo and Madondo were part of a police team preparing to deal with March and March protests scheduled for June 30.
