News24 reports that ten police officers and eight home affairs officials were arrested in the Free State on Wednesday morning for allegedly extorting money from foreigners, the SA Police Service (SAPS) said.
In a statement, acting national police commissioner Lieutenant-General Khomotso Phahlane's spokesperson, Athlenda Mathe, said the officials threatened Lesotho nationals who did not have the correct documentation. In some instances, they assisted these nationals to cross the border without the correct documentation required, Mathe said. A joint operation with the Hawks, at the Ficksburg port of entry into Lesotho and SA, led to their arrests. This comes as SAPS revealed that 706 police officials had been arrested for criminal activity in the 2016/17 financial year, compared to 725 in 2015/16.
