La famille Gardee demande à Bheki Cele de témoigner devant la commission Madlanga

La famille de la victime de meurtre Hillary Gardee a exhorté la commission d'enquête Madlanga à convoquer l'ancien commissaire de police Bheki Cele ainsi que d'autres hauts responsables pour témoigner. Cette demande fait suite à des allégations d'ingérence dans l'enquête sur son assassinat survenu en 2022. Cette requête souligne les préoccupations concernant la conduite de la police dans cette affaire.

La famille Gardee, par l'intermédiaire de ses avocats, a adressé une lettre à la commission Madlanga demandant la convocation urgente de hauts responsables de la police, dont Bheki Cele. La commission enquête actuellement sur les dysfonctionnements du système judiciaire pénal sud-africain. Cet appel intervient après que la commissaire de police du Mpumalanga suspendue, la lieutenante-générale Semakaleng Manamela, a dénoncé des ingérences lors d'un point presse ce dimanche. Les déclarations de Mme Manamela ont motivé l'action de la famille concernant le meurtre d'Hillary Gardee en avril 2022. Les avocats de la famille ont spécifiquement accusé M. Cele d'avoir exigé des comptes-rendus directs de la part des enquêteurs à plusieurs reprises. Ils ont également allégué que la commissaire du district d'Ehlanzeni, la générale de division Dorah Xaba, aurait aidé un suspect à échapper à son arrestation. La famille a affirmé que les agissements de ces responsables entrent dans le cadre du mandat de la commission chargé d'examiner les problèmes au sein du système judiciaire.
