Pretoria - Defence Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula on Thursday said despite widespread media reports, soldiers accused of assaulting an Alexandra man, who later succumbed to his injures, are not off the hook yet.
"We have various entities with the South African National Defence Force who are collaborating in conducting the investigation into this matter,” Mapisa-Nqakula“Any suggestion that in fact the soldiers, if there are any soldiers, police officers, or whoever was implicated in the murder of the gentleman [Khosa] – it is a matter I do not want to comment on precisely because it is a matter which is still under investigation. It is a sub judice matter.“That has been done.
The affidavit and the inquiry's findings were handed to court following a judgment by Judge Hans Fabricius. Earlier the judge ordered that the internal investigations into Khosa's death had to be concluded and that a report of the findings be submitted to the court.
