Defence minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula says that members of the army allegedly involved in the death of Collins Khosa have not been cleared.
“We were actually taken by surprise last night when we heard from the news that the report is in the hands of the media - firstly because all processes have not been exhausted in dealing with that issue,” said Mapisa-Nqakula.
The minister said any suggestion that the soldiers were implicated in the murder was a matter she did not want to comment on “because it is a matter which is still under investigation and in terms of the court in fact it is a sub judice matter.” “Anything else which relates to whether this is a murder case is a matter which I would rather not comment on until all investigations have been concluded.”
