Suspended Hawks boss Anwa Dramat has been placed on leave following an agreement he reached with police minister Nkosinathi Nhleko.
Nhleko's spokesperson, Musa Zondi, says the two met on January 29th were it was agreed that Dramat would take leave pending an agreement between their lawyers.
Dramat was suspended on December 23rd, pending a probe into his alleged involvement in the illegal rendition of four Zimbabweans in November 2010.
His suspension was overturned in the Pretoria High Court, while Judge Bill Prinsloo also threw out the Minister's appeal against his decision.
Prinsloo had declared Dramat's suspension unlawful and invalid and ordered that he be reinstated.
