Lawyers for the Helen Suzman Foundation have written to the Portfolio Committee on Police requesting that the process for the appointment of a new executive director of IPID be halted pending a Supreme Court of Appeal ruling.
The Helen Suzman Foundation said it had noted with “some alarm” that it appeared that Police Minister Bheki Cele had written to the National Assembly nominating Jennifer Dikeledi Ntlatseng as the preferred candidate for the post.
“By virtue of private agreement, the minister, the committee and the then executive director of IPID, Mr Robert McBride, agreed to their own interpretation of the act, which was made an order of court by agreement,” said the HSF. The dispute relates to the question of whether the minister and the committee were permitted to take a decision not to renew the tenure of the then executive director, Robert McBride as well as their interpretation of the act.
The HSF said it anticipated that the SCA would set this matter down for hearing during the November term.
