JOHANNESBURG – The SAPS has admitted that nearly 400 of its members are involved in acts of corruption.
He made the announcement during a virtual parliamentary briefing on Tuesday.
He has told the Standing Committee on Public Accounts that most of the violators are low-ranking officials.
National Police Commissioner Khehla Sitole said there are processes within SAPS that ensure corrupt officers are held accountable.

“There are other underlying factors that precede the process of a person becoming an officer,” Sitole said.
“The first is the existence of a succession plan that the South African Police Service did not necessarily have formally, but now we have formally presented, I think, two years ago.
“The succession plan has a short-term and a long-term succession plan, but the long-term succession plan helps the most because the members go through leadership growth and leadership principles.”
