Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department

Mr Matlala did not deal with paragraph 2.4 of the notice (relations with EMPD, blue lights, peace officer cards) because he is asserting privilege against self-incrimination as he is mentioned as a suspect, family member interviewed, and others are charged.

“Ja, there is a reason. I was supposed to also claim my privilege of self-incrimination because there are people who are already charged and I am also being mentioned as a suspect, and even my family member has been interviewed.”

Commissioner Revo Spies retired from the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department and is now deployed by the Tshwane Metropolitan Police Department since 2 March 2025.

“He comes under a completely separate stream, which is what we refer to as the Tshwane Metropolitan Police Department. He has since retired... and now deployed by the TMPD ... and he started this out on the 2nd of March 2025.”

Commissioner Revo Spies was a section-56 contract employee at Ekurhuleni for five years but took early retirement; upon appointment to Tshwane, he became a permanent employee under a performance contract without a fixed term.

“At Ekurhuleni, I was appointed as a section-56 contract employee for a period of five years, which I took early retirement... When I was appointed in the City of Tshwane, I was appointed as a permanent employee till I reached the compulsory retirement age of 65 years... I am now a permanent employee with a performance contract, but not with an employment fixed term contract.”
