ANA reports that a court interpreter’s absence on Monday led to the postponement of a case involving eight Khayelitha-based police officials accused of putting in false claims for travelling expenses.
The case will be heard in February next year. The charge sheet explains the procedures to be followed by police officials going on investigations away from their home bases, to other provinces. An official first has to obtain permission from the provincial commissioner to use an official vehicle to leave the Western Cape, and to claim expenses while on a trip. On return, he or she may claim expenses on a special claim form, but must attach receipts as proof of payment for accommodation, meals and so on.
