Police Minister Senzo Mchunu is concerned about corruption involving some members of the South African Police Service. This follows an incident in which a complainant was taken to the Fairlands police station, north of Johannesburg, and assaulted.
Men dressed in civilian clothes and pretending to be police confiscated the man’s phones and robbed him of over R100 000 earlier this year. The police spokesperson Kamogelo Mogotsi says all six suspects were identified and arrested. They appeared in the Randburg Magistrate’s Court on Monday.
“The actions of these individuals are a betrayal of the public’s trust and a violation of the very principles that the SAPS stands for (honour, integrity, and service).” The worst thing is that these are members of the crime intelligence unit – we condemn their criminal activity in the strongest terms they deserve. Such conduct is not only criminal but deeply dishonorable.
Mogotsi says, “We will not allow any further erosion of confidence that the public has in law enforcement agencies. As a matter of urgency, internal disciplinary processes will be instituted against the police officers
