Currently, 35 people are suspended on full pay at the Road Accident Fund. Some have been suspended for over 4 years. The total cost is R48m to date. Good, honest people's lives are being destroyed just because they refused to buckle.
Three years ago, Western Cape High Court Judge Daniel Thulare delivered a scathing judgment, warning that gangsters had infiltrated the provinceβs police service so much that they βhad a seat at the tableβ where crime-combating strategies were being planned. Read this again, gangsters sit with the police and plan crime-fighting strategies, according to the judge.
Following the judgment, Premier Alan Winde launched an investigation into the allegations. The probe has since been completed, but both the Premier and the police have refused to make its findings public, citing concerns that releasing the report could endanger witnesses, some of whom have reportedly already been killed.
This secrecy reinforces the perception that gangsterism in the Western Cape is deeply entrenched and protected by elements within the system meant to fight it.
