Cape Town - The military ombud continues to investigate complaints received during the nationwide Covid-19 lockdown, the office said on Tuesday, urging the public to lodge these in writing.
Of these, 32 were complaints from the public relating to heavy handedness, undignified treatment and unlawful confiscation of property by officers enforcing lockdown rules, while 20 complaints were from current and former SANDF members in connection with termination of service, receipt of benefits, grievances and grievance procedures.
The office also does not investigate cases of an alleged criminal nature as these are dealt with by the South African Police Service or the Independent Police Investigative Directorate.
