Police commissioner bows down in a pregnancy challenge

Through a consent order that was reached before Justice Zein Kebonang recently, the fired trainee Keolebogile Nkgarapi will have a chance again to be enrolled back into training post confinement.

According to the order, Nkgarapi who was only left with two months to complete her training for a constable post, will be reconsidered after birth provided she passes all medical tests. However, as per the Police Act section 14 (1) that states that female police recruits are not to fall pregnant prior and during training of which will automatically lead to dismissal, the consent order clearly states that it does not set a precedence for future cases but only applies to Nkgarapi’s case.
