ANA reports that police watchdog head Robert McBride told MPs on Wednesday that his team will meet an April deadline to submit all dockets relating criminal behaviour during the 2016 Marikana massacre to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA).
Briefing Parliament’s portfolio committee on police, the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (Ipid) boss said despite hitting several snags they were now working with a team of prosecutors to finalise cases against officers involved in wrongdoing. McBride took aim at the SA Police Service for conducting its own investigations into those involved in the 16 August 2012 incident, which claimed the lives of 34 people, saying that it was “strange that they all were cleared especially when so many people died and it seems no fault was laid anywhere.” Earlier during the meeting, police top brass revealed that government had been served with summonses of claims to the tune of over R1.1 billion in compensation from the victims of the Marikana massacre.
