BusinessLive reports that suspended national police commissioner Riah Phiyega has made damning allegations‚ in a high court application‚ against the board of inquiry that looked into her fitness to hold office.
Phiyega last week filed a founding affidavit in her bid to have the Pretoria High Court review and set aside the findings of the board. She has charged that the judge Neels Claassen-led board not only exceeded its mandate and made irrational findings‚ it even changed the findings of the Farlam report into the 2012 Marikana massacre in an effort to find her guilty. The board found her guilty on three of the five allegations President Jacob Zuma instructed it to look into when he announced its establishment in late 2015. The board has recommended that Phiyega be fired. She now wants the court to review the entire report‚ which she attached in her application‚ on the grounds the proceedings were designed to prejudice her. She also revealed‚ for the first time‚ that she refused to testify before the board because it failed to present any new evidence from what was available from the Farlam commission.
