POPCRU monitors ActionSA's court bid to review disciplinary outcomes for two Presidential Protection Service officers

The Police and Prisons Civil Rights Union, POPCRU says ActionSA's court bid to review disciplinary outcomes for two Presidential Protection Service officers must not turn Major-General Wally Rhoode and Brigadier Hennie Rekhoto into political targets. The union says approaching the High Court is a constitutional right, but guilt cannot be assumed before a court rules. Popcru adds that all SAPS members are entitled to due process, legal representation and the presumption of innocence, regardless of political pressure around the Phala Phala matter.
