Zondo worries SAPS may be trying to cover up Crime Intelligence slush fund abuses

Chairperson of the commission of inquiry into state capture Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo on Friday expressed his concern over frustrations encountered by a Hawks investigator to declassify police documents during a Crime Intelligence investigation.

Roelofse told Zondo that since 2012 it had been “a battle” to have these documents declassified despite having extensively explained to the police and crime intelligence the legitimacy of needing the documents to carry out his investigation. The commission heard that the request to declassify these documents was also brought to the attention of the national police commissioner, General Khehla Sitole, soon after his appointment in November 2017.Roelofse said that, either in late 2017 or early 2018, Ipid appeared before parliament’s standing committee on public accounts where the matter was raised and where Sitole made an undertaking to apply his mind to the issue.

Zondo further said it must be demoralising to those within law enforcement agencies who wanted to do the right thing when they encountered such frustrations.
