subordinate

A subordinate who was previously a captain or colonel in SAPS disrespected the witness by claiming higher rank because he was a commissioned officer, but the witness clarified that he was not a commissioned officer and belongs to Metro Police.

“he opened the discussion completely disrespectful towards me, stating that he has got a higher rank than me because he is a commissioned officer and I am not a commissioned officer... I stated to him, it is true that I am not a commissioned officer because I am not in the South African Police Service, we are in the Metro Police”

The subordinate actively disobeyed instructions given by the witness and was suspended due to ongoing forensic investigations into breaches and undeclared senior management declarations.

“whenever I give him instructions, he would actively disobey my instructions, and he would not do whatever I have informed him to do... he was then placed on suspension, and a disciplinary matter has been initiated against him and that is still carrying on to date.”
