MADLANGA COMMISSION: SAPS needs once-off ‘deep clean’ targeting corrupt officers — World Bank expert
After months of testimony about alleged political interference, criminal networks and compromised officials, the Madlanga Commission has heard a new proposal on how to clean up the SAPS when ordinary disciplinary and criminal procedures aren’t working.
According to Laura Pop, a senior financial sector specialist at the World Bank, the South African Police Service (SAPS) may require a once-off "deep clean" exercise to address integrity failures and restore public trust. Pop made this proposal during testimony at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry into alleged political interference, criminal networks, and compromised officials within the SAPS.
The deep cleaning exercise would be an extraordinary evaluation aimed at quickly and effectively removing corrupt officers and restoring the SAPS's integrity.
