The Witness reports that KwaZulu-Natal’s top cop, Lieutenant-General Mmamonnye Ngobeni, was back at work on Tuesday and determined to do her job.
This followed a successful court ruling earlier that day that overturned her suspension, effective since May last year, based on allegations of gross misconduct. However the SA Police Service (SAPS) said they would be appealing the decision made by the court and that Ngobeni’s suspension would continue, pending the finalisation of the appeal process. The police spokesperson indicated that Ngobeni’s attorney would be requested to inform his client not to return to work. Ngobeni, however, returned to work on Tuesday almost immediately after the successful court ruling. When asked about the police statement that he would be “requested to inform his client not to return to work”, Ngobeni’s lawyer, Ravindra Maniklall, said he had not spoken with the state attorneys.
