Former president Thabo Mbeki has again denied any knowledge of any wrongdoing by National Police Commissioner Jackie Selebi, The Star reported on Monday.

He said he found analysis about the report into suspended prosecutions boss Vusi Pikoli very frustrating.

Pikoli was suspended last year on the grounds of a breakdown in the relationship between himself and the justice ministry. An inquiry was subsequently held into his fitness to hold office and, although the report had not been made public yet, there had been media reports about its content.

Pikoli maintained he was suspended because he planned to arrest Selebi for alleged corruption *1.

Mbeki said he remained convinced that no proper evidence of wrongdoing had been brought to him about Selebi when he was in office, and that full co-operation had been given to the investigators. He said he expected to be vindicated. - Sapa
