The Claasen Board of Inquiry held public hearings last year to investigate Phiyega’s conduct during the Marikana massacre in 2012.
The inquiry has reportedly found that she is not fit to hold office, was not a satisfactory witness, and showed a distinct lack of understanding of the importance of her position.
The Farlam Inquiry implicated Phiyega and other senior police officials in the deaths of 34 miners.
The suspended police chief who has been on paid suspension since October 2015 has maintained that she did not mislead the inquiry and that police cannot take all the blame for the deaths in Marikana.
The violent protest at the platinum mine made international headlines almost five years ago and government has only recently announced that it is ready to compensate the families of the victims.
