Police Minister Bheki Cele is appealing parts of a scathing judgment on the murder of Alexandra township resident Collins Khosa by members of the SANDF and the SAPS.
Details of Cele’s appeal have emerged in a report of the National Council of Provinces’ select committee on security and justice which quotes Cele’s deputy Cassel Mathale stating that police were unhappy with a section of North Gauteng High Court Judge Hans Fabricius’s order.
“ SAPS has complied with orders made in the judgment, for example code of conduct and guidelines on the use of force,” reads the report signed on May 29 and which has been seen by Independent Media. Cele is challenging Judge Fabricius’s order that he and Defence Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula internally investigate the treatment of any other person whose rights may have been infringed during the state of national disaster at the hands of members of the SANDF, the SAPS and/or any metro police department.
