Media Alert: Premier Zille to Receive Final Report of Commission of Inquiry

On Monday, 25 August 2014, Premier Helen Zille and Minister of Community Safety, Dan Plato will receive the final report of the Commission of Inquiry into Policing in Khayelitsha.

The Commission was established by the Premier in August 2012 based on allegations of police inefficiency in Khayelitsha and of a breakdown in relations between the community and the police in the area.

The Commission – led by Justice Catherine O' Regan and Advocate Vusumzi Patrick Pikoli – has finalised its work and compiled a report for the Premier’s consideration.
