Police Minister expected to address Parliament on transformation─── 09:11 Wed, 02 Sep 2015
Cape Town - Police Minister Nathi Nhleko is expected to brief the portfolio committee in Parliament today on the implementation of the Farlam Commission recommendations and other plans for transforming the police.
The commission, headed by retired judge Ian Farlam, investigated the deaths of 44 people killed during strike-related unrest at Lonmin's platinum mine in Marikana, Rustenburg, in August 2012.
It recommended in its report, released in June, that police commissioner Riah Phiyega face an inquiry into her fitness to hold office.
Last month the presidency said President Jacob Zuma intended to institute an inquiry into allegations of misconduct levelled against Phiyega.
Several recommendations on how public order policing could be improved were also made by the commission.
