Corruption in Gauteng SAPS on the rise; and the highest
28 August 2019
The Democratic Alliance (DA) is shocked to learn that there has been a marked increase in corruption within the South African Police Service (SAPS).
It is disappointing that the leadership in SAPS is not doing enough to curb corruption within their organisation.
This information was revealed in the 2019 Analysis of Corruption Trends Report released by Corruption Watch. Furthermore, the report indicates that for the first time corruption in the police sector has overtaken other sectors like schools, health and local government.
According to the report, abuse of power is at 35.7% and bribery is at 30.6% in the police sector.
