The 49-year-old’s appointment comes after the National Assembly last month approved her nomination by Police Minister Bheki Cele to the Parliament’s portfolio committee on police after she emerged as his preferred candidate for the position.
Cele said he was confident that Ntlatseng’s appointment would bring much-needed stability to the organisation. One of the cases in her in-tray will be dealing with allegations of violence and police brutality during the lockdown.
