Western Cape Premier Alan Winde approached the SAPS ombudsman to investigate alleged links between gangs and top police officials in the province.
CAPE TOWN - Western Cape Premier Alan Winde said that he was still consulting legal experts on how to deal with the findings of a report by the Western Cape police ombudsman.Winde approached the SAPS ombudsman to investigate alleged links between gangs and top police officials in the province.
His request came after a judgment by a Western Cape High Court judge in September, which suggested that there may be evidence of these links. "So it is a massive problem that we have to put or create a solution and I don't know what that is yet. And I don't want to just quickly put up a commission, I need to really interrogate this and meet with our lawyers," the premier said.
Winde said that because the court judgment was based on a bail hearing of one case, they were looking into other cases like the murder of detective Charl Kinnear, who was a prominent member of the police's anti-gang unit.
