DURBAN - THE Hawks in KwaZulu-Natal have been fingered for overlooking suitable candidates allegedly recommended by an interview panel and the national head.
Officers tasked with investigating serious matters of fraud, corruption and commercial crimes were themselves at loggerheads with their employer over promotions.
An officer, who did not want to be named for fear of being victimised, said the delay in resolving the matter was causing too much strain on them.
The delay was robbing them of the perks that came with the adjusted rank, he said.
“For two years, I have been waiting for the recommendations to be effected, but nothing has been done so far. Instead, another officer who was not recommended got promoted,” the officer said.
