More than two years after violent unrest swept through KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng in the aftermath of former president Jacob Zuma's incarceration, the Hawks have not achieved a single conviction.
The police presented a progress report and implementation plan following a report from a panel of experts President Cyril Ramaphosa appointed to probe the reasons behind the July 2021 unrest to the Portfolio Committee on Police on Wednesday.
The panel found that the unrest took the police, who were inadequately prepared, by surprise, leaving them flatfooted, and with"crowd control equipment" running dry, they could not adapt their tactics.According to the police's presentation, the panel made 34 recommendations, of which 18 apply to the police.
Furthermore, the Hawks have been conducting 11 investigations, leading to the arrest of 68 people. However, this has not resulted in any convictions yet.Included in the 68 arrested persons is a police officer based in Durban, who was arrested for incitement of violence. The police's internal disciplinary matter against this member is still pending.
The panel's findings and the HRC's hearings have proven embarrassing for the Ramaphosa administration, in particular Police Minister Bheki Cele. At Wednesday's meeting, the committee's new chairperson, ANC MP Nocks Seabi, mooted deferring the committee's investigation to the Seventh Parliament, or in other words, until after next year's election.
