Blue Light Brigade – investigation launched

Blue Light Brigade – investigation launched

The DA welcomes the investigation launched by Provincial SAPS Commissioner, Tulani Ntobela, into the conduct of Colonel Simon Moyane.

The DA lodged a complaint with the Provincial Commissioner after it emerged that Col Moyane was an occupant in the vehicle that blocked an ambulance at an accident scene on the N4 on Wednesday.

In a video clip recorded at the scene by the community newspaper “The Middelburg Observer”, a black Lexus is seen forcing its way through still standing traffic, escorted by a police vehicle with blue lights flashing and sirens blaring, in an attempt to by-pass the accident scene.  The blue light brigade is seen meeting oncoming emergency vehicles head on, blocking their pathway to get critically injured patients to hospital.

Following an investigation it established that Col Moyane – a police Chaplain, stationed at the SAPS Provincial Head Office – was the occupant of the Lexus and Brig Jansen Ngobeni was the driver of the escorting vehicle.

In a letter to the DA yesterday, Provincial Commissioner Ntobela confirmed that an investigation launched.

The DA would like to commend the Commissioner for the swift action taken and express our confidence that Brigadier

Adolph, who appointed to head the investigation, will do everything necessary to bring this perpetrator to justice.
