JMPD spokesperson Wayne Minnaar said they did not argue the matter in court, and opposed the order to disarm and render the officers who attended the scene off-duty.
“At the hearing, JMPD agreed with the attorneys of the applicants that JMPD will conduct an internal investigation to determine whether the conduct of the officers warrants disciplinary action or not,” he said.
“Because of this agreement, JMPD did not see the need to wait for the judgment and it commenced with internal investigations.”
Minnaar said the investigator had since submitted an interim report and had been awaiting one aspect of information from an eyewitness to conclude the investigation.
“It is anticipated that the report will be finalised by Tuesday May 19.”
