Suspended controversial Mpumalanga Police Commissioner Lieutenant-General Semakaleng Manamela is set to face a board of inquiry over misconduct next week.

Suspended controversial SA Police Service (SAPS) Mpumalanga Commissioner Lieutenant-General Semakaleng Manamela is set to face the board of inquiry established to probe the serious allegations against her next week.

Manamela is facing charges of misconduct relating to her alleged acceptance of gifts worth nearly R300,000 from “SAPS semi-official funds” and approval of unlawful promotions of police officers with pending corruption cases.

She has previously challenged the charges against her all the way to the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) and the Constitutional Court, but was unsuccessful, with both superior courts dismissing her applications.

Manamela is still challenging the decision to subject her to a board of inquiry in court in a review application.
