The Independent Complaints Directorate (ICD) will host a gala dinner to celebrate its 10 years of existence since its establishment in April 1997.  The said event will be held at the Castle Kyalami Hotel in Midrand on Thursday, 11 October 2007 at 18h00.

The gala dinner which will also honour ICD’s current employees who continue to serve the organization since its establishment will be graced by the attendance of the Minister for Safety and Security, Mr Charles Nqakula.  Furthermore, the ICD’s preceding two Executive Directors; Adv Neville Melvile and Adv Karen Mckenzie will respectively deliver a speech.  The Acting Executive Director, Mr Patrick Mongwe will hand over the long service gifts to the deserving employees.

The celebration which is by no means an easy feat, especially in light of the challenges that the ICD has had to overcome in pursuit of fulfilling its mandate will provide an opportunity not only to celebrate its achievements but also to provide attending stakeholders with the opportunity to share this wonderful milestone with the ICD.

The gala dinner will be attended by high ranking officials from among others the South African Police Service (SAPS), Secretariat, Metropolitan Police, Provincial and Local Safety and Security, and any other relevant stake holders.

The ICD wishes to extend its pride in reaching this milestone and it will continue to promote proper police conduct
