South African Police Service SAPS Deputy National Commissioner for Crime Detection, Lt-Gen Shadrack Sibiya, claims many Political Killings Task Team PKTT case dockets had not been attended to for several years before they were withdrawn from KwaZulu-Natal to SAPS head office earlier this year.
Sibiya made the claim during his appearance on Monday 13 October before Parliaments ad hoc committee investigating allegations by KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Commissioner, Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.
Mkhwanazi has alleged that Sibiyas order to withdraw the dockets stalled investigations and potential arrests, adding that they were gathering dust at head office.
