JOHANNESBURG - National Police Commissioner Fannie Masemola is receiving some backlash for his decision to send dockets back to the Political Killings Task Team in KwaZulu-Natal.
Acting Police Minister Firoz Cachalia has questioned the move, given that it's one of the issues due to be investigated by the Madlanga Commission.
President Cyril Ramaphosa set up the inquiry to probe allegations of corruption in the SAPS.
DA MP Lisa Schickerling from Parliament's Police Committee says the timing is wrong.
"It can be seen as a step towards restoring investigative continuity and potentially advancing justice for the victims and their families," she said.
