Six months after the legally prescribed deadline, Cele, in a letter dated 30 June 2020, informed the National Assembly that he has nominated Jennifer Dikeledi Ntlatseng as the preferred candidate for the post. This was announced in parliamentary documents late last week. “The Helen Suzman Foundation’s case before the Supreme Court of Appeal concerning the renewal process related to the IPID executive director’s term of office is further cause to reject the Minister’s nomination.”

Whitfield has since November last year appealed to the committee and Cele to ensure an open, transparent nomination process. The Bill limits the police minister’s role, lest Parliament leads the process and allows for public participation.
