“Given the serious and deeply concerning developments now emerging, both internally and through alleged irregularities presented at the Madlanga commission, I have mandated the city manager to institute a broader comprehensive internal investigation into alleged misconduct and administrative failures within the city’s law-enforcement structures,” said Xhakaza.
Xhakaza said he has directed the team to submit a preliminary report within 21 days on the alleged 275 unvetted officers, including those with alleged prior convictions.
He said he had also mandated the city manager to review all 55 alleged irregular promotions of police officers granted in recent years.
