The City of Tshwane is investigating allegations of nepotism and corruption in the recruitment of 200 metro police officers.
The City of Tshwane has launched a forensic probe into allegations that the recent recruitment process for 200 metro police officers at the Tshwane Metro Police Department (TMPD) was marred by nepotism and corruption.
Hannes Coetzee, Member of the Mayoral Committee for Community Safety, confirmed this amid wide-ranging complaints from disgruntled applicants, who have since threatened to protest outside Tshwane House on Thursday.
Despite the city’s investigation already being under way, the applicants said they would demand an independent, full investigation into the recruitment process and greater transparency in the selection criteria.
Speaking on behalf of the applicants, Karabo Molefe said the group first sent a memorandum to the city on February 19 this year and another one on April 4, also furnishing the city with evidence of corruption within the TMPD.
