Last month President Zuma wrote to Phiyega, asking her to provide reasons as to why she should not be suspended pending an inquiry into her fitness to hold office.
This followed the release of the Farlam Commission of Inquiry findings which recommended that an inquiry be held into the role Phiyega, and North West Police Commissioner Zukiswa Mbombo, played around the 2012 shooting in Marikana that saw officers kill 34 miners.
Two months ago the Presidency confirmed the receipt of the police commissioner’s letter.
