BusinessLive reports that National Assembly speaker Baleka Mbete has received the Claassen Board of Inquiry report into suspended national police commissioner Riah Phiyega’s fitness for office.
This is the latest in a series of actions that could see Phiyega lose her job over her leadership of the police in the days leading up to the killing of 34 striking mineworkers at Lonmin’s Marikana operations in August 2012. The report was sent to President Jacob Zuma’s office once the board of inquiry released it. On receiving the report, Zuma announced that he would give Phiyega an opportunity to state her case as to why she should not be dismissed. According to recent reports, the final draft of the report indicated that Phiyega was not fit for office and should be fired.
