A former Cape Town Metro Police Department officer, who was allegedly sexually harassed by her superintendent, is taking her fight to the Cape Town Labour Court, claiming unfair discrimination, unfair treatment, and unfair dismissal after having reported the matter.
Verna Simpson was appointed in 2012 as a constable in the Internal Affairs Unit of the Cape Town Metropolitan Police Department, where she conducted investigations into complaints against metro police officers.
Between 2014 and 2018, Simpson alleges she was subjected to sexual harassment, victimisation and bullying at the hands of the senior superintendent to whom she reported at the time.
