The Western Cape’s former head of detectives, Jeremy Vearey, is still trying to get police bosses to provide him with what he believes is suitable and necessary security that a court has ordered be supplied to him., on Tuesday reapproached the Western Cape High Court because he wants it to rule that Provincial Police Commissioner Thembisile Patekile is in contempt of court for failing to properly adhere to an earlier court order.
In the latest court papers, Vearey has refrained from mentioning his whereabouts, citing safety reasons. However, in Vearey’s affidavit in which he is pushing for contempt of court, he said that the morning after the order was made, a bodyguard told him there had been an instruction that “only two members may be deployed, that I am not allowed to be transported in a police vehicle and that they have no mandate to provide static protection at my residence 24/7.Vearey then stayed in hiding at a safe house with his family.
Vearey added that the State Attorney was also alerted to possible contempt of court action if he was not informed in writing that the court order would be properly implemented by 2pm on Monday, 19 July. He said adequate protection was especially necessary because he had needed to consult with members of the Police and Prisons Civil Rights Union .Safety and Security Sectoral Bargaining Council may proceed with an arbitration hearing into it this Wednesday and Thursday, 28 and 29 JulyVearey, in his latest affidavit, said that he received an email from the State Attorney saying it had not received the arbitration bundles needed for the hearing this week.
“I find this extremely odd since [the brigadier responsible for the TRT] was alerted… that this urgent application for contempt would be filed the next day,” Vearey said. “As stated in the above High Court application, I am not financially able to engage the services of private security agencies. I was unfairly dismissed from the SAPS and my salary was stopped.”previously reported that there were genuine fears Vearey’s life was in danger, especially when viewed in relation to what happened to his colleagueoutside his Bishop Lavis home in Cape Town in September last year.
