SAPU demands consequences for those who conspired against Masemola
NPA ordered the withdrawal of four charges against General Fannie Masemola.
The South African Policing Union (SAPU) has called for accountability for those involved in conspiring against suspended National Police Commissioner Fannie Masemola. This demand follows the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) withdrawing four charges against Masemola, stating there is no chance of a successful prosecution. The charges were related to violating the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA).
SAPU spokesperson Lesiba Thobakgale has urged Masemola's immediate reinstatement and has addressed the responsibility of those from the Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC) who concocted the charges against Masemola. Thobakgale also emphasizes the importance of his reinstatement to restore public confidence in the SAPS ahead of the Local Government Elections, stating that stability for SAPS is necessary to refocus on fighting crime.
He believes that Masemola's return will boost confidence in the police force, the community, and strengthen cooperation between them in the fight against crime.
