Top commissioners close ranks
The nine provincial police commissioners on Wednesday expressed anger and disgust at ongoing media allegations that National Police Commissioner Jackie Selebi is linked to criminal activity.
Speaking on behalf of the provincial commissioners, Western Cape Commissioner Mzwandile Petros said the commissioners met on Tuesday
with the National Prosecuting Authority for clarity as the allegations against Selebi were beginning to undermine confidence within the police service.
The commissioners discussed their "collective concern about the media coverage of the scurrilous, defamatory and unsubstantiated
allegations levelled against Selebi", said Petros in a media statement.
It has been alleged in media reports that Selebi was a friend of Brett Kebble murder accused Glenn Agliotti and that he had been aware of a criminal investigation against Agliotti for the past four years.
The meeting was prompted by "boiling anger" at various provincial offices, particularly from experienced investigators who understand the traditional methodology of conducting investigations, said Petros.
"They (commissioners) were appalled by the constant leaking of affidavits which were supposed to be in the safekeeping of an investigating agency, but mysteriously found its way to the media."
Petros said the commissioners were satisfied with the outcome of the meeting with the NPA on Tuesday after NPA management assured police that they dissociated themselves from the "individual
peddling the allegations", as the man was neither the NPA's registered source nor was he an employee.
The commissioners at the meeting, which was held without Selebi's knowledge or permission, also pledged their unwavering support for the national police commissioner.
"While the detractors of the national commissioner will be holidaying, he will be leading his charges (police officers) from the front as he has been doing since he assumed the reigns of the SAPS," said Petros.
