HSF is fight an SCA case of whether the minister and the committee were permitted to take a decision not to renew the tenure of Robert McBride.
Police Minister Bheki Cele is back on the right side of the law regarding the appointment of a new head for the Independent Police Investigative Directorate , but court proceedings can prevent that this post, which has been vacant for almost 18 months, is filled quickly.
News24 understands Ntlatseng held a position at the Gauteng Department of Community Safety until 2017.As per the Ipid Act, the minister must nominate a suitably qualified person for appointment to the office of executive director and parliament’s police committees must, within a period of 30 parliamentary working days of the nomination, confirm or reject such a nomination.
On Tuesday, the Helen Suzman Foundation said it has written to Cele, the Portfolio Committee on Police and Ipid, cautioning them not to proceed with the appointment process. HSF’s case is concerned with the question of whether the minister and the committee were permitted to take a decision not to renew the tenure of McBride, and the interpretation of the Ipid Act in this regard.“Until the court has pronounced its judgment, the office of the Executive Director cannot be viewed as vacant and, as a result, any appointments made to this office would be unlawful,” reads HSF’s letter.
