Western Cape MEC of Community Safety Dan Plato has called for justice to prevail in the matter concerning Provincial Police Commissioner Arno Lamoer.

Lamoer and five top cops appeared in the Goodwood Magistrate Court on Friday on charges including corruption and money laundering.
 
MEC Plato says he is concerned that this case has dragged on since 2013 and the allegations against the six has had a serious destabilising effect on policing in the province.
 
Ministerial Spokesperson Ewald Botha said the safety of the people of the Western Cape must remain a top priority for the South African Police Service.
 
 Botha added that as Department of Community Safety’s MEC Plato’s has already instructed the Court Watching Briefs unit to keep a close eye and monitor the case.
 
“We cannot allow any wrong move in the procedures towards justice where there would be exoneration or conviction with regards to the charges.’ Botha said.
