hawks not up to task civil society groups urge parliament to reform criminal justice system

Civil society organisations Accountability Now and the African Policing Civilian Oversight Forum Apcof have submitted formal proposals to parliaments ad hoc committee to assist in its investigation into alleged corruption within the criminal justice system.

The investigation follows a bombshell media briefing held last year by KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, who implicated senior law enforcement officials in interfering with police work.

After hearing from several implicated witnesses, the committee turned its focus to the public on Tuesday to receive submissions from civil society.
