Westville CPF chairman, Alex Gloster said there has been a lot of interest in a social media post doing the rounds, about a member of the SAPS and his supposed incapacitation.
He said the CPF is concerned, but will not be drawn into speculation.
Gloster said it is reassuring that the SAPS have the same concerns and interests in determining what may have transpired.
“To this end the SAPS have appointed senior officers to investigate the matter, in accordance with their procedures. It is not expected that the details of an internal matter will be made public, but it is gratifying that this is enjoying significant internal attention, with our peace of mind and safety as key considerations,” said Gloster.
