Phiyega inquiry concludes
Closing arguments have concluded before the Claassen Board of Inquiry into suspended National Police Commissioner Riah Phiyega's fitness to hold office.
Three days were set aside for closing arguments. Evidence leaders are now expected to submit a response to the defence by mid-June.
The board heard from representatives for the families, the injured miners, as well as Amcu and they all submitted Phiyega is guilty of misconduct.
Evidence leader Ismail Jamie echoed these sentiments, questioning Phiyega's knowledge of how dangerous the situation at the koppie was and what information she was privy to.
He maintains she was unfit to hold office.
"It's one of those options, she either had actual knowledge or she didn't. On either count, it is inexcusable and renders het unfit for office," Jamie said.
On the other hand, Advocate William Mokhari - for Phiyega - said they believe she should be acquitted.
He argued Phiyega didn't break the Police Service Act and that disciplinary regulations were not applicable to her.
"We are saying that, firstly, based on the evidence we have presented, you should actually acquit her of all the charges," Mokhari said.
The board will hand over its recommendations to President Jacob Zuma and all other affected parties by August.
