Corruption and nepotism in SAPS must stop, says IFP─── 05:39 Thu, 23 Jan 2020
The IFP in KZN has called on former KZN Police spokesperson Vincent Mdunge to name all those he alleged were involved in fraud and a plot against former KZN Police Commissioner, Lieutenant-General Mmamonye Ngobeni.
"The IFP urges Vincent Mdunge to expose the names of all those who were involved in the plot. He must provide more details on his allegations. He must tell us the names of those who did not have Matric but were secretly informed to resign from the SAPS instead of getting jailed for fraud.
"He must tell us everything he knows because the problems is not just at the top, but also in the middle and lower management structures in the SAPS," the party said in a statement on Wednesday.
The IFP in KwaZulu-Natal said it had made constant demands that the KZN MEC of Community Safety and Liaison, Bheki Ntuli, present a plan to clean up corruption within the law-enforcement sector to eradicate graft, bribery and extortion by law-enforcement officers in the province.
"The image and role of law-enforcement officials has been, over the years severely compromised due to corruption and therefore we demand a no-nonsense approach that will swiftly expose and assist to weed out all affected officials.
"We therefore demand that a skill and lifestyle audit be conducted in the SAPS, to see if the SAPS has the right people placed in the right positions.
"The IFP calls for an end to nepotism, abuse of power and neglect of rule of law. Every effort must be made to ensure that the appointment and promotion processes are open, transparent and impartial.
"Where allegations are found to be true, timely and appropriate action must be taken by top leadership to rectify the situation."
