More arrests expected as 20 Tshwane police officers appear in court for taking bribes

Tshwane community safety MMC says there will be more arrests of officers that have taken bribes.More arrests are expected of Tshwane metro police department officers for taking bribes from motorists as prosecution for 20 officers nabbed last year resumes next week.

Tshwane community safety MMC Grandi Theunissen told TimesLIVE 20 officers were arrested for corruption during a five-month period. While the officers' criminal cases were still at initial stages, Theunissen said the municipality would not wait for court outcomes to punish those found guilty in their internal disciplinary processes.

“The internal investigations are complete and the disciplinary process is under way. Prosecution of the officers will be done by an independent attorney with experience in labour relations. If they are found guilty, one of the punishments will be termination of employment,” Theunissen said.Theunissen was hopeful that the courts would find the officers guilty, saying in all cases there was sufficient evidence including video footage and proof of bank transactions.

“I used to get calls daily from people reporting officers who wanted bribes from them but now I get one or two calls a week.”This is disappointing, as a City we have a zero tolerance approach to bribery & corruption. We encourage the affected resident to come forward with full details of the alleged incident. Email: tmpdcomplaints@tshwane.gov.za and/or
