The Khayelitsha Commission of Inquiry has in the past few months received and perused thousands of documents from SAPS including about 500 police dockets.  Over 200 affidavits from community members have been received by the commission. 

The commission was set-up by Western Cape Premier Helen Zille in 2012 after the South Justice Coalition complained about police inefficiency. 
Commission Spokesperson Amanda Dissel said the commission will be hearing legal argument from the various parties to the commission.  The legal team will provide an opportunity for the legal party to present their summary and understanding of the evidence that has been put forward to the committee.

“It will also get an opportunity  to highlight their recommendations on what they think the commission should focus on  in their recommendations and report to the Premier of the Western Cape” added Dissel
