I am being charged for doing my work - McBride
Johannesburg - Suspended IPID head Robert McBride claims he is being criminally charged for his report into the illegal rendition of five Zimbabweans that former Hawks head Anwa Dramat and other officials were allegedly involved in.
This came after reports that McBride and two colleagues would be charged with fraud and defeating the ends of justice.
Speaking to Talk Radio 702 on Monday morning, McBride said he believed this was an attempt to justify unlawful decisions taken.
"There is no crime, there is no misdemeanor. We have been charged for doing our work and the fact that the [police] ministry is unhappy with the outcome of an investigation is the minister's problem. It's not our problem," he said.
According to Netwerk24, McBride, Matthew Sesoko and Innocent Khuba were being investigated by the Hawks's Crimes Against the State (Cats) unit.
