IPID gets a new acting head
3 March 2020
The Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) has a new acting head, at least for the next two months.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the police ministry said Police Minister Bheki Cele appointed Patrick Setshedi as acting executive director until the end of April.
Setshedi's appointment came after Victor Ofentse Senna's acting period ended at the end of February.
"The process to recruit and appoint a new Executive Director led to the request by the Ministry of Police to extend the deadline, and the Portfolio Committee on Police acceded to a two-month extension," acting spokesperson of the police ministry Brigadier Mathapelo Peters said.
