South African Policing Watchdo
South Africa's Safety and Security Minister Charles Nqakula said Wednesday an investigation by the policing oversight body into the alleged criminal links of National Police Commissioner Jackie Selebi had come up empty-handed.
Nqakula told the national broadcaster SABC that an investigation by the Independent Complaints Directorate, which probes complaints of police misconduct, had found no proof of allegations against Selebi made by security expert, Paul O'Sullivan.
O'Sullivan, the former head of security of the Airports Company of South Africa, and various media, have alleged links between Selebi and known or suspected top criminals, or with dodgy police operatives suspected of providing them with protection.
Selebi has admitted to being friendly with a man arrested in connection with the killing of a top South African mining tycoon, but as yet, no "smoking gun" has been produced against him.
Responding to calls for Selebi's dismissal, South African President Thabo Mbeki on Monday said he had no grounds on which to suspend him.
Speculation that South African police are in cahoots with criminal syndicates and private security firms in some high-profile heists, are rife.
Interpol, of which Selebi is currently president, has defended him as "a man of the highest professionalism and integrity."
