The Provincial Head of the Hawks has greatly denied that members implicated in the alleged theft are part of the Hawks. The implicated individuals are said to be from the Intelligence structures that assist the Hawks during investigations, as the Hawks do not have an intelligence capacity.
Without elaborating on the work that was undertaken, it suffices to state that none of the individuals alleged are attached to the Hawks.
The Provincial Head of the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation, (Hawks) in Mpumalanga has taken note of the misleading media release implicating Hawks members in the theft of R4 million rand.
The Provincial Head categorically denies that the members implicated in the alleged theft are part of the Hawks. The implicated individuals are from the Intelligence structures that assist the Hawks during investigations, as the Hawks do not have an intelligence capacity.
Without elaborating on the work that was undertaken, it suffices to state that none of the individuals alleged are attached to the Hawks.
It is always advisable to consult the affected parties before statements of this nature are released as they tend to tarnish the image of the Hawks and undo the confidence that management is building with the community of Mpumalanga.
The Provincial Head of the Hawks has since requested all relevant documents and files to ascertain the status of the matter.
We are committed to serving with integrity and conducting our investigations without fear or favour.
The Hawks has further said that a full investigation will be conducted, including the case that has been opened. It is regretted that this matter is incorrectly sensationalised in the media without offering the Hawks the right of reply before publication.
