Section 6(5) of the Ipid Act states the minister 'must' fill the vacancy 'within a reasonable time, not exceeding a year', but by 1 March 2020, Cele had not nominated a candidate.
Section 6 of the Ipid Act states the minister “must” fill the vacancy “within a reasonable time, not exceeding a year”, but by 1 March 2020, Cele had not nominated a candidate.
This after Cele was adamant he should not be reappointed, and the ANC contingent on the previous portfolio committee on police ensured his contract was not extended in a contentious process early last year, which was also the genesis of the Helen Suzman Foundation’s court application. She stated, furthermore, the act was silent on what should happen if the minister did not adhere to the deadline.
The legal opinion is dated 11 June. Cele informed Parliament of Ntlatseng’s nomination in a letter dated 30 June. A service provider named Ultimate Recruitment Solutions were then appointed to find suitable candidates, and they compiled a shortlist of 24 candidates. He added the DA’s repeated appeals against the nomination process have been blatantly ignored by the committee and the party was of the view Ntlatseng’s nomination was in contravention of the Ipid Act.
In her statement, Joemat-Pettersson said: “The appointment is historic in the sense that it is the first time that a female candidate has been appointed to this position under the Ipid Act [2011].
