Pretoria - The South African Police Service (SAPS) says the court's decision not to charge suspended crime intelligence boss Richard Mdluli for allegedly orchestrating the death of Oupa Ramokgibe had no bearing on internal disciplinary proceedings.
The police ministry said it had taken note of the outcome of the inquest held on Friday, 2 November 2012, at the Boksburg Magistrate Court in respect of the late Ramokgibe.
"This office would like to place on record that the outcome of the inquest in question has no bearing on the internal disciplinary process that is in progress. The SAPS wishes to confirm that Lieutenant General Mdluli remains suspended," said the ministry in a statement.
The Boksburg Magistrate's Court found on Friday there was not enough evidence to implicate Mdluli and three others in the death of Ramogibe.
Ramogibe died in February 1999 after marrying Mdluli's mistress Tsidi Buthelezi. - SAnews.gov.za
