Witness accuses SAPS senior officials of targeting the top cop
Bishop Lazarus Maumela claims the officer was arrested at a restaurant and not a brothel.
A witness has accused senior South African police officials of targeting a top cop, according to an associate of the arrested officer. Bishop Lazarus Maumela claims the SAPS general was apprehended at a restaurant, contradicting reports that he was arrested at a brothel. Maumela alleges that the SAPS leadership is selectively targeting individuals who speak out against corruption within the police force.
He names National Coloured Congress leader Fadiel Adams and businessman Stuart James Sharnick among those he believes have also been targeted. Maumela states, "We feel that the person in question is being targeted by the regime operating in an apartheid manner. You would have noticed that everybody who has spoken against what is happening has to be targeted.
You speak of Stuart, who got arrested at Madlanga, and you talk of Adams, who was arrested at Madlanga."
