The report of the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) into the break-in and theft at President Cyril Ramaphosa’s Phala Phala farm has been declassified.
That’s the reply given by acting Police Minister Professor Firoz Cachalia to a written parliamentary question from the ATM.
Cachalia says the report was declassified on February 2 this year.
He says that after considering the initial reasons for the “Top Secret” classification and public interest, IPID came to the decision that the classification is no longer serving the purpose.
He added that it should be noted that IPID was not investigating the main case of breaking-in and theft, but rather the conduct of the SAPS members who handled the case.
Cachalia says it should further be noted that IPID investigation reports are not for public consumption and, as such, will only be accessible through proper legal processes.
