Baloyi on Johnson's authorisation of a wide-ranging preliminary investigation into multiple Crime Intelligence officers:
"It's a misuse of powers, whether it comes from her [Ramsamy] or from you. At this stage, this is a misuse of powers to take intrusive steps and action against people on this affidavit, you have no justification whatsoever on this affidavit to be looking into [the officers named in the preliminary investigation but not Adams].
"You have absolutely no legitimate and valid basis to look into that. Maybe there is something to look at later on, but we are still at this affidavit stage where you are authorising.
"That they be called in, that their affairs, their bank statements be looked into, and their lifestyles and everything about the... and they come they must come to interviews under threat of if you do not cooperate, it's a criminal offence.
"You're happy to do all of that when, in fact, the only document on which you rely to act as you do in this document, doesn't create a basis for it.
"To me it's a yet another instance where you, in particular, have misused your powers to go where you are not authorised to go. There's no legitimate basis to do this."
Johnson says she has no comment on this.
