MEDIA STATEMENT ISSUED BY:

November 17, 2006

The IFP spokesperson for Safety & Security, Mr Velaphi Ndlovu, today said:

"The IFP has long been calling for reports on the progress being made in the Kebble investigation. The last piece of information the public received was of a homeless man that came forward as a witness - and we now welcome the news of an arrest in the Kebble murder case."

"The IFP is pleased about the positive movements being made in the case, but we still cannot help but raise concern regarding the length of time it has taken the police to get this far."

Mr Ndlovu concluded by saying: "To ensure the impartiality of further investigations, the IFP advises the National Commissioner to take a leave of absence. Once the investigation and court case is concluded, Mr Selebi can then take whatever course of action is available to him at that time."
