SAPS National Head Fannie Masemola.
National Police Commissioner Fannie Masemola has told the Ad Hoc Committee in Cape Town that President Cyril Ramaphosa agreed with him that the National Political Killings Task Team (PKTT) must be dismantled gradually.
The committee is investigating alleged threats to national security.
In addition, he says he appealed to the president to approach Minister Senzo Mchunu, who is currently on special leave, regarding his directive to disband the PKTT immediately.
Mchunu was placed on special leave after allegations of criminal infiltration, corruption and political interference in the justice system.
“He remembered I said to him if you talk to the minister, maybe we hear what are the reasons for this dissolvement, this disbandment and then he said no. And there I also told him that if this thing gets ever done, Mr President, which we don’t know the reasons, but it can’t be done like immediately. But I didn’t want to define immediately. Let it be done gradually in a winding down approach. And the president agreed with me,” explained Masemola.
Meanwhile, Masemola says all the police officers in Gauteng found to be working with criminals will face the full might of the law.
“Part of the operations in Gauteng is dealing with that. I won’t say it is all. It’s some. They are dealing with that. That matter is being investigated. And those that are involved they will face the might of the law,” explained Masemola.
