Face The Nation | SAPS on political task team dockets /Stanley Mathabatha steps aside /DSD NY trip



SAPS National Spokesperson, Brigadier Athlenda Mathe says the political task team dockets will be submitted to the Madlanga Commission. Acting Police Minister, Professor Firoz Cachalia and National Police Commissioner, General Fannie Masemola agreed to submit the one hundred and twenty-one dockets to the commission tasked with investigating criminality, political interference and corruption in the criminal justice system. Mathe says the national police commissioner has always been against the disbandment of the political killings task team and has applauded its work.

ANC Limpopo Spokesperson, Jimmy Machaka has noted the decision by his party’s provincial chairperson, Stanley Mathabatha, to step aside. Mathabatha cited unethical behaviour in the processes followed at the Vhembe and Waterberg Regional Conferences. Machaka says a task team was established to investigate the veracity of the allegations raised at the regional conferences. Machaka says the values of the ANC in Limpopo remain intact.

The Director General at the Department of Social Development, Peter Netshipale says the media reports surrounding a New York trip are out of context. Netshipale says the trip formed part of a bigger government delegation, and seven officials were sent by his department at a cost of R3 million. He says about R600 000 was spent on the DDG alone. Netshipale has further denied that the suspension of the Department’s Chief Director of Communications, Lumka Oliphant, was linked to the leaking of the information of the trip.

  1. Ramaphosa said while he is the ANC corrupt leader/president none of his corrupt cronies will be sentenced while he is president. We as the public don't trust this right hand man Cachalia. We can't wait for conclusion of the enquiry commission. They must make copies so that the police can carry on with their investigation, which was already been delayed too long. The public not going to be taken for a ride again like the Zondo commission. The president must go on retirement before it is too late.

  2. I can't believe there are young people who understand that Maleima is nothing but a sower of division in country, he's so desperate to become a president of South Africa and yet he has no contribution even in addressing problems this country is facing. He attacks O/Dudula, that's fighting problems that are visible, faced by poor people of this country as if he's never been poor, merely because his personal agenda that he has about Nigeria and it's resources. How can Malema unite Africa when he can't unite his own SA, but dividing it instead. REALLY!

  3. On the issue of dockets…President Ramaphosa, the people of the republic need you and the NPA to publicize the investigation dockets as per the recommendations from the Zondo Commission…asseblief. the people of this country deserve respect, acknowledgement nad answers

  4. Cartalina is already showing signs of corruption as an acting minister. he has no right to interfere with the dockets. The commission can work with copies and leave real cops to deal with the original dockets

  5. Fully interference, Ramaphosa and Cachalia they shouldn’t be involved in this matter, they should wait for the outcome of the investigation from the police as they job to do so

  6. Clement is hopeless it doesnt mean if the commissioner doesn't make noise to journalist then it means he was not fighting for the dockets from March, he wants people to report to him to show they were working, wow such an idiotic journalist.

  7. If they had been sent back to Kwa Zulu we would have seen something happening. Now we will have to wait until they decide that they at long last have computers and food and maybe they will get the commission going. What a farce!!

  8. Thank you to this spokesperson. Sorry Clement, but I think you’ve missed the point. This is not just any spokesperson — she’s a seasoned law enforcement professional who has already shown, at least to me, that she’s principled and not compromised.
