OPINION: Even when their brutality is caught on camera and shown on television, officers seem to walk away scot-free.

On the same day, Ipid confirmed that the four officers implicated in the killing of Ntumba will face charges of murder, attempted murder and defeating the ends of justice.

The statement, like many before it, confirms that Ipid is aware of allegations of police misconduct. But this does not mean that it will result in a full investigation by the body, which exists to look into criminal matters that involve the police.She added that, “the team will also cordon the crime scene and conduct the investigation including locating the person with the video footage, [and identifying] eye witnesses.

Upon conclusion of the investigation, Ipid makes recommendations to SAPS to implement its internal disciplinary process. More serious crimes such as murder and rape are referred to a court of law to prosecute within the mainstream judicial system.by senior Wits Justice Project journalist, Edwin Naidu, however notes that, “95% of cases [investigated by Ipid] over the past seven years [were] closed without any action”.
