Johan Booysen probe to begin upon formal complaint: Cele
Police Minister Bheki Cele says investigations into an alleged plot to kill Johan Booysen will only begin once formal submissions are made to his offices.
DA MP Dianne Kohler-Barnard made a shock revelation in Parliament last month when she revealed that she had confirmation there was a planned hit on Booysen - the former head of the Hawks in KZN.
The minister responded to questions around the allegations and - specifically - any subsequent police investigations at a press briefing in Durban, yesterday.
"I"m not aware of any formal submission of this information- except getting it in Parliament. Unless and until there's a formal submission on the structures - then a formal investigation will take place then," he said.

But the minister says as far as he knows, Kohler-Barnard does intend to make such submissions.
"I know that she intends to that - but we don't have the evidence that it has been submitted. IWe are waiting for the submission. If and when it formally comes - surely we will able to deal with the matter," he said.
