BusinessLive reports that Parliament’s portfolio committee on police is eagerly awaiting President Jacob Zuma’s response to the report of the Claassen board of inquiry into suspended national police commissioner Riah Phiyega.
The board investigated allegations of misconduct against Phiyega and her fitness to hold office, following the 2012 Marikana massacre. Zuma received the Claassen report on 15 December 2016. It recommended that Phiyega should be removed from her post. Zuma then gave Phiyega the opportunity to make representations before responding to the report. Police portfolio committee chairman Francois Beukman said they would look at the report once Zuma had formally responded to it.
