McBride: How law enforcement agencies were captured
Johannesburg - Former Independent Police Investigative Directorate executive director Robert McBride on Thursday detailed how the country’s law enforcement agencies were corrupted and captured during his five-year tenure as the institution’s boss.
According to McBride, there were also several cases that should have been prosecuted in the period he was in charge of Ipid even though some predated his tenure. He said this happened at Sars after the appointment of Tom Moyane as national commissioner and the Hawks after Mthandazo Ntlemeza replaced Anwar Dramat as the anti-corruption and organised crime unit’s head.
However, when McBride, Ipid national head of investigations Matthews Sesoko and its former Limpopo head Innocent Khuba returned after being cleared in court the officers returned to crime intelligence to thwart more of the directorate’s investigations. He said there was no case and evidence from the start and that then Police Minister Nathi Nhleko was the complainant.
Justice Zondo said he was also considering approaching President Cyril Ramaphosa to ask him to amend the commission’s terms of reference so that he does not have to deal with his brother’s evidence, which relates to Sesoko’s disciplinary that had been chaired by Mxolisi Zondo.
