Community Safety MEC unaware of appointment of Western Cape police commissioner

Western Cape Community Safety MEC Albert Fritz said he was unaware about the new process to appoint a new police commissioner.

Fritz said he was yet to be informed of an interview panel or about possible candidates.

The Western Cape has been without a permanent commissioner for the last three months.

Western Cape residents will have to wait a little longer than anticipated for the police commissioner posy to be filled.

The post which was advertised back in August was recently re-advertised.

Fritz, however, believes there was meddling from the ANC when one of the candidates, Jeremy Vearey claimed that his application was tampered with.
