Western Cape MEC of Community
Safety Dan Plato has welcomed the internal investigation into the alleged
unprofessional behaviour of a police officer in the handling of the Sanet de
Lange case.
Sanet was found by police after
she hid herself under a pile of dirt and leaves after being brutally attacked,
and police presumed she was dead when they found her. The police then threw her
into the back of a patrol car.
Ministerial Spokesperson Ewald
Botha said people living in the Western Cape should report every incident of
poor policing service delivery received to the independent Office of the
Western Cape Police Ombudsman at 021 483 0669 or via email
ombudsman@westerncape.gov.za.
Botha said alternatively they
can also submit complaints about policing service delivery to the Department of
Community Safety’s policing complaints directorate by lodging a complaint at
021 483 4332 or via email at policing.complaints@westerncape.gov.za.
“The bad service provided by
the officers in question is tarnishing the hard work done by the majority of
the brave men and women in blue on the ground and is a bad reflection on the
police’s capability to professionally deal with investigations and the public”
Botha added.
