Police minister says Malema must lay charges against cops he claims harassed him
4 April 2016
Johannesburg - Police Minister Nathi Nhleko on Monday called on EFF leader Julius Malema to lay charges against the police who he claimed had harassed him, instead of simply posting it on social media.
"I appeal to all leaders – political, business, traditional or even church leaders to show leadership and desist from making innuendos without following up with necessary action so that all complaints will be dealt with," Nhleko said in a statement.
"It serves no purpose, but to delegitimise the police, to cast aspersions like this without the necessary details and action to enable us to get to the bottom of such complaints."
Nhleko encouraged Malema to report the matter to both the police and the police watchdog, IPID.
