EWN reports that eight Johannesburg Metro Police Department (JMPD) officers were axed for fraud and corruption in the first six months of this year, according to the department’s performance statistics released on Wednesday.
The statistics were presented by JMPD director Mathokoza Kgaswane. He said the department had adopted a zero tolerance approach to fraud and corruption and added: “In the last six months, we’ve had 13 cases reported to internal affairs that are under investigation at various levels and within the very same period of six months we have dismissed eight employees”. Public Safety MMC David Tembe, who was also at the presentation, confirmed that the employees concerned were also facing criminal charges. “With regard to eight employees dismissed, yes they’ve been dismissed and they are facing criminal charges. It just takes some time,” he stated.
