Masemola’s reinstatement being considered: Ramaphosa
The NPA dropped charges against Fannie Masemola earlier this month.
President Cyril Ramaphosa has indicated that the possibility of reinstating suspended National Police Commissioner Fannie Masemola is currently under review. Ramaphosa made the announcement while attending the 85th anniversary celebration of the Men’s Guild of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, held in Alberton, a town situated east of Johannesburg.
Earlier this month, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) dismissed charges leveled against Masemola. This decision cleared the path for the potential return of the former National Police Commissioner to his duties. Masemola had initially faced charges and arrest from the Independent Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC) over alleged breaches of the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA) due to concerns about adherence to public finance regulations.
During a press conference following the event, Ramaphosa commented on the matter. He stated, "The NPA’s decision has been noted and the matter remains under consideration; have the patience to wait for an outcome."
