Cape Town - The head of the Parliamentary Protection Services, Zelda Holtzman, and her deputy Motlatsi Mokgatla have been placed on precautionary suspension on full pay, the legislature said on Thursday.

 Parliament said the pair was suspended with immediate effect to allow the investigation of alleged security breaches at Parliament in “an environment free of any perception of possible bias”.

The investigation should be completed by the end of August.

“Parliament wishes to stress that the suspensions do not in any way constitute a judgement or penalty.”
