More than 200 Tshwane Metro Police Department trainees booted out in August for failing their exams want to be part of the graduation ceremony planned for next Tuesday.

The former cadets have approached the DA to intervene, claiming they had made unsuccessful efforts to be part of the training programme.

However, the city is sticking to its guns, saying the students were expelled because they failed, and reinstating them would be a contravention of the legislation and terms of their contracts.

Mahori Mikateko, who was on the programme, said in giving them the boot, the department informed them spending money on people who couldn’t meet the requirements was tantamount to wasteful expenditure.

Mikateko said most cadets failed one module, but were denied a chance to write a supplementary examination.

Another trainee Thapelo Dlamini said the DA had pledged to fight their battle by taking the matter to court.

DA mayoral candidate Solly Msimanga told a media briefing the party would approach the courts to interdict the graduation ceremony if the expelled trainees were not reinstated.

The trainees were fired from the training programme in August.

i'm sure there are lots of politics going on in the metro police department. Not sure who to believe.
 
how the feck do you fail the tests/exams required to sit on your fat ass under a tree eating KFC and making sure no-one steals the speed camera?
 
Title should be "cadets who didn't pay bribes, want in on ceremony"
 
I'm confused - 1 part says that they failed and another that they unsuccessfully tried to join the program...

Which is it?
 
Odd lack of insults directed to the DA here. If the situation was reversed...

Well if the news story is correct in stating "Mikateko said most cadets failed one module, but were denied a chance to write a supplementary examination."

Then the DA haven't done anything nefarious...
 
It's a "graduation ceremony ", where is the confusion? You did not graduate. Are you expecting to
get a certificate as well...

Right. It was was the ANC, I'm sure you would be taking a similarly objective view of it
