I take responsibility for not telling Parliament about Ntlemeza - Nhleko
21 September 2016
Cape Town - Police Minister Nathi Nhleko has taken full responsibility for his department's failure to notify Parliament of Hawks head Berning Ntlemeza's appointment a year ago.
It was an oversight due to lack of capacity in the office at the time, he told Parliament's police committee on Wednesday.
But this did not allay concerns from MPs about the office's culpability in the oversight, with members of the committee questioning what led to the mistake and what corrective measures have since been taken.
This after the Speaker on Tuesday tabled a letter from Nhleko informing Parliament of the appointment, a full year after he was appointed.
