And while many parties - including the Minister of Home Affairs - are calling for an independent investigation - the mechanics of that are not so clear. That's because under the law police have the power to investigate and arrest. Today, Minister Musa discussed that technical hurdle:

"What would an independent investigation look like?"
Kareem Musa, Minister of Home Affairs
"It's never been done. And so we have to look at the dynamics of that, because they will have to have access to all that the police have access to. It's not something common. We'd have to look regionally to see what the processes are, how it's appointed, how do they work along with the DPP moving forward. And so these are things hopefully we can sort out in a very quick time, rapid time, so that they can have access to the police information."

"Because in the meantime we're wasting time, records could have been deleted already."
Kareem Musa, Minister of Home Affairs
"Again, its just speculative questions Marisol we have to wait and see what the investigation has."
