Safety and security Mayco member JP Smith last week raised concerns about a case involving a repeat offender who was released from police custody earlier this month.
CAPE TOWN - A City of Cape Town official is standing by claims of negligence levelled against the Philippi Police Station.The man, who Smith claims is a known gangster, was wounded during a shootout with Metro Police in Hanover Park early this month. He was held at Philippi Police Station after receiving medical treatment. Smith says that the argument put forward by Commissioner Khombinkosi Jula isn't convincing.
"...then tries to conceal that fact by peddling misinformation and claiming the Metro Police officers did not open the case immediately but that it was only done two days later, which is factually inaccurate, I confirmed this yesterday with the officers in question.""The accused was in hospital and thus not available for a statement, which is also inaccurate as the accused was released from the hospital on the same day.
