Arrest warrant for national police commissioner? NPA weighs in
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA)'s Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC) has clarified that there is no warrant of arrest issued against national police commissioner Fannie Masemola. This comes as rumours have been circulating on social media about the purported warrant of arrest. IDAC spokesperson Henry Mamothame said recently, they have received media queries relating to unfounded allegations of warrants having been issued for the arrest of Masemola. 'IDAC maintains what it has repeatedly confirmed to the media: These are untrue allegations; no such warrants have been issued,' he said. Shortly after KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi's explosive media briefing on 6 July, which sent shockwaves across the country, Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema alleged that a warrant of arrest for the police commissioner had been signed. Malema said the only thing left to do was to execute the arrest, however, he could not understand why this had not been done. 'There is a warrant of arrest against Masemola, it's out, I don't understand why it has not been picked up. It means someone somewhere is playing politics; they want to undermine once more the independence of our justice system,' he said.
