Head of crime intelligence Lt-Gen Dumisani Khumalo has defended the appointment of 30-year-old Dineo Mokwele from car manufacturing firm BMW to a senior position within the SAPS.
Khumalo told the Madlanga commission on Wednesday that the appointment of Mokwele as brigadier was in line and that they were not looking for a career police officer.
We were looking for the head of our team in support service. A person who can combine both mechanical engineering and electrical engineering to suit our needs.
