National Police Commissioner Riah Phiyega has been summoned to appear before Parliament to explain the senior appointments she made last weekend.

Three deputy national commissioners were appointed, as well as provincial commissioners for the Free State, Limpopo and Gauteng.

However, Major-General Mondli Zuma was removed as Gauteng Commissioner, only hours after his appointment. This was after it was discovered that he was facing criminal charges.

Parliament’s Police Committee Chairperson Annelize van Wyk says Phiyega and her team will be in Parliament later this month.

“They will be here on September 17 to deal with the last quarter of the previous financial year and the first quarter of this financial year. They will give us a report,” says Van Wyk.

She says that she has asked Phiyega to come back on September 19 so that they can have a full meeting on the announcements that were made in terms of how they believe it is going to impact on improving service delivery.
