CAPE TOWN – Western Cape police Commissioner Arno Lamoer on Friday said an inquiry into alleged negligence by Khayelitsha police has been referred to the national police commissioner’s office.

He has received a document from the Social Justice Coalition and Premier Helen Zille’s office, detailing alleged poor performance.

It includes claims of officers refusing to open domestic violence cases, lost dockets and sloppy investigations. 

The coalition said this has resulted in some cases being thrown out of court.
