De Deur

There is concern over the possible abuse of state resources when six police officers, including trackers, were sent from Pretoria or De Deur to Kroonstad to search for a suspect who was not present, returning empty-handed.

“my issue, Sergeant, is what appears to be abuse of state resources. I mean, the fact that there is six of you... from here to Kroonstad is about three hours... six people, six police officers, including their trackers or tracers... are sent by Mr Z to Kroonstad to go look for a suspect, and he is not there, and they then come back empty-handed. To me, it is abuse of state resources for the benefit of a single individual.”
