JOHANNESBURG - Gauteng Hawks head Ebrahim Kadwa has been suspended.
eNCA understands the suspension took effect last week, with multiple sources confirming the development.
While the full details of the matter remain unclear, one of the charges reportedly relates to bringing the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (known as the Hawks) into disrepute.
