IS TSHWANE METRO POLICE ABOVE THE LAW?

By Cllr. Karen Meyer

The comments by Director Ndumiso Jaca, Head of Proactive Policing at the Tshwane Metro Council, at yesterday’s memorial service for Sergeant NJ Mohale, are totally irresponsible and unconstitutional.
Director Jaca’s remarks include: “Haunt Roux until he tells the truth ; man roadblocks and make sure that Bees doesn’t rest”.
Director Jaca is an official who is supposed to render and ensure an impartial service to all residents of Tshwane and his remarks contradict this ethos .These remarks are totally out of place and definitely outside his mandate. It is, to say the least, counter-productive to the legal process and not in the spirit of an independent judicial investigation. Thus, Director Jaca has appointed himself policeman, judge and ‘executioner’ which in the opinion of the DA, is totally unacceptable behaviour.
The DA is of the opinion that the investigation and the law must run its course and that it is totally unnecessary to politicise the matter, as has been done by Director Jaca. The DA demands an immediate explanation and apology from Director Jaca.
