Inspector-General Imtiaz Fazel Suspended
President Cyril Ramaphosa has suspended inspector-general of intelligence Imtiaz Fazel with immediate effect, pending an investigation into his conduct.
The suspension comes after parliament's joint standing committee on intelligence received a complaint about Fazel's conduct, though the nature of the misconduct was not specified.
Latest Scandal in Policing and Intelligence
Fazel's suspension is the latest scandal to hit South Africa's policing and intelligence system, following damning allegations by KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi in July.
- Allegations have implicated now suspended Police Minister Senzo Mchunu and deputy national commissioner for crime detection Shadrack Sibiya.
- A commission chaired by retired judge Mbuyiseli Madlanga has been established to investigate claims of criminality and political interference.
- Parliament has set up a parallel ad hoc committee to investigate the same claims.
No comment was made on the specifics of the complaint against Fazel.
