News24 reports that two traffic officers and a Department of Employment and Labour (DEL) employee have been arrested in connection with two separate corruption cases in Gauteng.
On Sunday, two Tshwane Metropolitan Police Department (TMPD) officers were arrested for allegedly soliciting a bribe from a motorist accused of speeding in Centurion. Further investigations are still under way. Those arrests came days after a DEL official was arrested in connection with corruption. The 35-year-old was arrested in Germiston on Friday after allegedly demanding "spot fines" from a construction company after he claimed it was non-compliant. The company reported the matter to the police, and the official was arrested when he visited the site on Friday, allegedly to collect money. He was found in possession of cash he had demanded from the complainant and will be charged with corruption and extortion. The suspects are expected to appear in court soon.
