24 May 2018 - NW1503
Singh, Mr N to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
Whether the (a) aviation irregularities and (b) accidents under investigation by the Clanwilliam SA Police Service (details furnished) under case number CAS114/04/2015 have been received by the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) for further investigation and possible inquest/prosecution; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, at what stage is the NPA investigation?
Reply:
The docket Clanwilliam CAS 114/05/2015 and supporting documents have been received and studied by advocates from my office. The documents indicate that there were three similar accidents, two of which were fatal. Queries were directed to the investigation officer to obtain further information, in the form of dockets and/or inquests, regarding these other accidents so that a final decision may be made upon consideration of all the relevant evidence.
I am awaiting the completion of these further investigations.
