Greg Nicolson writes that opposition parties on Sunday welcomed reports that the Claassen board of inquiry into suspended police commissioner Riah Phiyega’s fitness to hold office had found she should be fired.
The net, however, should be cast wider, they said. The Congress of the People (COPE) said: “We don’t believe it’s fair to her that she must shoulder all the blame for what happened at Marikana where 34 miners were massacred. All of us know that the massacre at Marikana was too big to lay at the door of one person.” It added that former police minister Nathi Mthethwa and Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa must not only be declared unfit to hold their positions, but must be charged for the massacre at Marikana. The Democratic Alliance (DA) said on Sunday it would write to the chairperson of the portfolio committee on police to urge that that the finalised report from the inquiry be tabled before Parliament.
