Evidence leader at the commission of inquiry into state capture on Thursday advocate Paul Pretorius said former Independent Police Investigative Directorate head Robert McBride’s testimony at the inquiry would seek to ask and answer the disturbing question whether South Africa’s law enforcement agencies were deliberately manipulated and weakened to protect high profile persons.
Besides implicating high-profile persons, McBride’s testimony would deal with attempts to undermine the mandate and role of the Ipid. Pretorius said the question whether the country’s law enforcement agencies were deliberately manipulated and weakened would further seek to determine whether these agencies were used to prosecute selected persons, government officials, or members of the executive to “to further the aims of corruption and state capture”.
