The murder rate in crime-hit South Africa rose to almost 47 murders a day last year, according to damning police statistics released on September 19. Some 17,068 people were murdered in the country in the 12 months to March, police commissioner Riah Phiyega revealed, a five percent rise from the previous year. AFP PHOTO/STRINGER

JOHANNESBURG – The urgent application to oust Hawks boss Berning Ntlemeza will be heard in the North Gauteng High Court on Tuesday.

The Helen Suzman Foundation and Freedom under Law filed claims, stating Ntlemeza should be prevented from exercising his powers as national head of the crime-fighting body.

They claim his appointment by Police Minister Nkosinathi Nhleko was irrational and unlawful.

Last month, it submitted an interdict calling for his suspension.

The foundation says Ntlemeza is not fit to hold office after the high court found that he had lied under oath.
