Good day Sasha
The following is the advice/instruction I received from or legal Support and thus will not be able to assist.
Regards
Lieutenant Colonel JS Roets
Dear Lt Col Roets
The SAPS does not discuss investigative strategies on matters (which are still open) with any third party.
To maintain confidentiality and the integrity of investigations we can only talk in court, as witnesses.
If the SAPS wants to say anything after conclusion of a matter in court, such engagement will be done through official communication channels and officers of the SAPS.
Regards
Brigadier Nicolaas Francois van Graan
