Police union calls out Nathi Nhleko for abusing court processes
Union says abuse is over the police minister’s attempt to stop disgraced Hawks boss Berning Ntlemeza from losing his post
The South African Police Union (Sapu) has criticised Police Minister Nathi Nhleko for abusing court processes. The abuse‚ claims the union‚ is over his attempt to stop disgraced Hawks boss Berning Ntlemeza from losing his post. On Friday the High Court in Pretoria criticised Nhleko for ignoring earlier court rulings that found Ntlemeza to be a liar and unfit to lead the Hawks. Nhleko has indicated that he will appeal that ruling. Union general secretary Oscar Skommere said the union condemned Nhleko’s behaviour for abusing court processes. "The minister’s appeal is a clear case of abuse of court processes. It is clear that Nhleko is applying dirty delaying tactics because Ntlemeza will never survive this." He called for Nhleko to pay the legal costs of "this fruitless exercise from his own pocket".
