National police commissioner Khehla Sitole has been served with a notice of intention to suspend, according toIt is understood that Sitole received a letter from President Cyril Ramaphosa last week, asking for representations as to why he should not be suspended, with sources indicating that the missive was received on Monday.

He was found to have breached his duties as a police officer, in terms of the Independent Police Investigating Directorate Act, by intentionally frustrating a string of IPID investigations into corrupt procurement deals within the Crime Intelligence environment. Sitole - sources said - was given a week to respond, with his representations to be sent to the president by Monday.
