A senior Hawks detective with a history of clashing with his commanders for refusing to drop investigations against politicians, has been fired over what his sympathisers described as “trumped up” sexual harassment charges. The Directorate for Priority Crime and Investigations found Commercial Crime Unit investigator Lieutenant-Colonel Luphumlo Lwana guilty on four of five charges of sexual harassment levelled against him.
The third charge alleges that on 7 September 2021, he told the same officer that she had a problem of not wanting to work on weekends and on holidays because she preferred to spend the time with her romantic partner. Hawks’ national spokesperson Colonel Katlego Mogale said: “Dismissals and other disciplinary related matters within the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation are between employer and employee therefore the DPCI will deal with such internally according to merit.”that the national office had long been trying to get rid of him due to political interference over his work.
The money was allocated for flood victims in the Eastern Cape but a huge chunk of it was allegedly spent on Sassa projects in other provinces with the rest paid to shoddy service providers in the Eastern Cape after tender processes were flouted.
