D-Day for McBride's future at IPID | gerbjan
On Thursday the matter of the contract of Robert McBride, executive director of the Independent Police Investigative Directorate , will come to a head: The portfolio committee on police will finalise its report on whether McBride's contract should be renewed, after which the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria will hear the case.
"In short, my motivation for applying to the aforesaid positions was to serve my country and to undo some of the damage that was done to and through these institutions." He said due process was followed after Saohatse lodged a grievance, and while he didn't agree with the appeal panel's reasons for upholding Saohatse's appeal, IPID accepted it.
"Tarnishing someone's name as a loose cannon, in this case, is totally unwarranted," Kohler Barnard said.ANC MP Angelina Molebatsi said she sometimes forgets that Kohler Barnard is an MP.Kohler Barnard responded:"I have no truck with Mr McBride. I'm not his lawyer." A few minutes later, Kohler Barnard stood up with her briefcase and announced she would be leaving as there was no point for her to be there. ANC MPs said something inaudible to Kohler Barnard, who responded, very audibly:"You're a disgrace."The matter landed in the committee's lap after a settlement agreement was reached two weeks ago in legal proceedings McBride had instituted against Cele, after Cele wrote to him to say that his contract would not be renewed.
