The disciplinary action instituted against Anti-Gang Unit (AGU) head Major-General André Lincoln for purportedly failing to provide adequate protection at the home of Lieutenant-Colonel Charl Kinnear two weeks prior to his murder, can be construed as an attempt to divert attention from the bigger picture.
This view was echoed by AGU-members and by Nicolette Kinnear, the widow of Charl Kinnear who was gunned down at about 3pm on Friday 18 September 2020 in front of his house in Gearing Street, Bishop Lavis.
Explaining the bigger picture, three AGU members, who requested anonymity, raised a number of questions with Daily Maverick: Most importantly, they asked, who is the gunman that killed Kinnear, who orchestrated the hit and why aren’t they arrested?
