Booysen: Elements in law enforcement agencies, NPA captured to serve politicians

JOHANNESBURG - Former KwaZulu-Natal Hawks head Johan Booysen says elements with law enforcement agencies and the National Prosecuting Authority have been captured in order to pursue the interests of politicians.He says his difficulties in the Hawks started when he initiated an investigation of politically connected businessman, Thoshan Panday.

Major-General Johan Booysen was asked to set out what he believes his evidence will reveal to the commission. "Certain elements within the law enforcement and the NPA had been captured for reasons of own interest and in other cases to promote or follow a particular agenda or narrative of people in political power.""I've no doubt in my mind that the trigger for the change in my experience of the police came about when I initiated a corruption investigation into a wealthy businessman in KZN by the name of Thoshan Panday.

Booysen has described how he was instructed by then provincial police commissioner Mmamonye Ngobeni to stop the investigation.
