According to Masemola the multidisciplinary task team is not solely relying on evidence presented at the commission as their investigations are not limited to the five officials identified so far.
He said their probe could expanded to include others should there be sufficient substance to warrant further action.
“We have also relied on other evidence hence we are investigating a little bit more than just the five,” Masemola explained.
While Masemola said the names of the officers cannot be disclosed at this stage, he confirmed of the five one has already been suspended.
The remaining officers have been served with notices of intended suspension.
