Political leaders are calling for urgent reforms in the SAPS amid a growing institutional crisis marked by corruption and declining public trust.
Imran Subrathie, member of the National Assembly for the ANC, said the Madlanga Commission pointed to a serious institutional crisis in the SAPS.
“The alleged involvement of senior officers in corruption demonstrates that the rot has penetrated parts of the leadership structures responsible for upholding the law.
“One of the biggest challenges in addressing the rot is the erosion of trust in the institution itself. Resource constraints, skills shortages in specialised investigative units, and the sophistication of organised crime networks make the fight against corruption even more difficult.”
