Trade union Solidarity is expecting national police commissioner General
Riah Phiyega to testify in the Labour Court today.
Solidarity approached the court to force the police to redeploy
whistleblower Colonel Kobus Roos.
“The time has come for national police commissioner Riah Phiyega to
testify in Solidarity’s lawsuit against the SAPS regarding Colonel Kobus Roos’s
appointment,” said Dirk Groenewald, head of Solidarity’s centre for fair labour
practices.
However, it was not clear if Phiyega would be in court today. “If she is
required to go, she will go,” said an SAPS spokesman.
