Hawks appoint Seswantsho Lebeya as new boss

The Directorate for Priority Investigation (DPCI), more commonly known as the Hawks, has a new head.

Communication Minister Nomvula Mokonyane said during Thursday’s post-cabinet media briefing that Advocate Seswantsho Godfrey Lebeya, was approved as the new boss of the Hawks, which has been without a permanent head for more than a year.

Yolisa Matakata has been acting as Hawks boss since April last year after a high court ruled that former Hawks head Berning Ntlemeza’s appointment was unlawful.
