Cachalia in a statement issued on Friday slammed Masemola's announcement that 121 dockets would soon be returned to the task team.

The now-suspended Police Minister, Senzo Mchunu, disbanded the team, which was formed in 2019 to investigate and execute arrests in political killings as part of implementing the Moerane Commission's recommendations.

Cachalia indicated that Masemola revived the team’s investigation without consulting him, and that he had kept him in the dark about the status of the team.
