Prior to that visit, I attended the Vosloorus Police Station to request a briefing on the status of the investigation. It is concerning that upon my arrival, I was confronted by Ethiopian, Somali, and Bangladeshi nationals who were engaging with police officials as purported stakeholders. This reflects the extent to which foreign interests are gaining undue access and influence within our law enforcement processes.
