COPE lays criminal charges over Dlamini-Zuma protection saga
While DA calls for probe into abuse of state resources for Dlamini-Zuma’s protection
The Congress of the People has laid criminal charges against Police Minister Fikile Mbalula over the Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma protection debacle. The party‚ which laid the charges at the Garsfontein Police Station in Pretoria on Sunday morning‚ contends that Mbalula contravened the Presidential Protection directive by giving Dlamini-Zuma protection she is not entitled to. The Democratic Alliance says it is to ask the Public Protector that she urgently investigate the use of state resources to provide VIP protection to Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma despite the fact that she holds no position that would justify such protection.
