|||Cape Town -
The Khayelitsha commission of inquiry into the efficiency of policing in the Cape Flats suburb has postponed public hearings until after the Constitutional Court has ruled on the matter.
“To avoid unnecessary waste of public funds, the commission has postponed its public hearings until the decision of the Constitutional Court is handed down,” the commission said in a statement on Tuesday.
In the interim, it would continue its work “collecting statements from members of the community, and collating research on relevant matters”.
The inquiry was set up by Western Cape premier Helen Zille in August and is currently the subject of a court dispute.
Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa opposes the inquiry and the case is headed to the Constitutional Court on August 6. - Sapa
