Crash involving SAPS vehicle still under investigation
According to IPID, there are still reports and statements outstanding.
Nearly five months after a fatal accident on the R554 involving an official Boksburg North SAPS vehicle, there has been little progress in the investigation.
According to the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) spokesperson, Robbie Raburabu, the matter has not yet gone to the Director of Public Prosecutions for a decision because the post-mortem report, vehicle technical report and a few statements are still outstanding.
Raburabu previously confirmed that IPID is investigating a case of culpable homicide.
The Toyota Yaris involved in the accident with the police vehicle, on April 22, had broken down and was being pushed on the road. A Ford Ranger was also reportedly hit by the Yaris following the impact of the collision.
Kamokgelo Gama (22), who was pushing the car, died of head and chest injuries.
His family claims they have not received updates about the investigation from the investigating officer.
Furthermore, IPID said they were aware of allegations of a bottle of alcohol found in the SAPS vehicle and this was also investigated.
