"We are utterly committed to ensuring Enoch and the Mpianzi family receive the justice they deserve. We are giving input with the honesty and courage that has defined our institution. We will play our part to ensure we get to the bottom of this tragedy, for the truth to be told and to ensure that it never happens again," Van Es said.
