PRETORIA - It’s emerged in court papers that National Police Commissioner
General Khehla Sitole is refusing to declassify documents needed in three serious corruption cases, contrary to the advice of the Inspector-General of Intelligence, Dr Setlhomamaru Dintwe.
Independent Police Investigative Directorate (Ipid) head Robert McBride makes the revelation in an answering affidavit and counter-application against Sitole and his two deputies, in an effort to compel them to release the evidence to investigators.
Sitole and his deputies brought an application to challenge an order that they hand over the evidence.
The watchdog body is
investigating Durban-based company I-View and several senior officials, including Sitole, on tender fraud worth tens of millions of rands.
