Police minister Firoz Cachalia says ructions plaguing the police top brass as laid bare in the Madlanga commission do not mean the organisation in a crisis.
Some of these are untested as yet, but the commission has already come to some preliminary conclusion, and there is a preliminary report, Cachalia said on Tuesday after a festive season operational inspection in Durban.
The evidence that has been led does suggest a pattern that is worrying. I have been concerned that the rank and file are watching the commission and listening to the evidence, and thats going to have an impact on their morale, said Cachalia.
