The Citizen reports that the Police and Prisons Civil Rights Union (Popcru) has warned axed Hawks boss Berning Ntlemeza that his “arrogance would not win him his job back”.
The ex-top cop remains adamant he is still technically head of the elite unit, despite a high court ruling that he be removed immediately from his post. Popcru spokesperson Richard Mamabolo said on Thursday that the elite crime-fighting unit should be more concerned with policing than politics. He commented: “Nltemeza’s arrogance will not assist him, because the courts have already taken a decision and the minister is not going to appeal that decision. The minister has appointed an acting head and we are confident that she will continue the work because we don’t want to see a Hawks that is working on political issues instead of policing criminal activities.” But Ntlemeza insists that only Parliament can remove him.
