Nhleko should not delay Ntlemeza's 'eventual demise' - police union
Johannesburg - Police Minister Nathi Nhleko should not delay the "eventual demise" of Hawks boss Lieutenant General Berning Ntlemeza, the SA Policing Union said on Monday.
"His empty appeal will compromise service delivery as the cloud hanging over the head of the DPCI on its own is costly,” SAPU president Mpho Kwinika said in a statement.
"It is clear that Minister Nhleko is applying dirty delaying tactics because Ntlemeza will never survive this," Kwinika said.
The union called for Nhleko to pay the legal costs of the appeal out of his own pocket.
On Friday, the High Court in Pretoria declared Ntlemeza’s appointment unlawful and invalid, and set it aside.
