Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on Police will recall the police watchdog, the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (Ipid), and senior generals for an in-person meeting to discuss a report that found President Cyril Ramaphosa’s head of police had conducted an off-the-books investigation into the Phala Phala scandal. He was subsequently exonerated by the SA Police Service (SAPS) and retains his job.
