The report, which was presented to Parliament's portfolio committee two weeks ago, said there might be about 115 members of the police who are directly linked to suppliers, who are involved in 33 police station building projects, and a further 215 possible cases of "conflict of interest".

SIU spokesman Boy Ndala said the unit was investigating about R50-million worth of corruption involving 3783 payments made in projects involving the building of 33 police stations.

The SAPS undertook to start building its own police stations, effectively taking over the function from the Department of Public Works. But this decision, according to the interim report, is unlawful.

The report says: "In the absence of a binding legal document or legislative amendment, the SAPS's actions were irregular and contrary to legislative authority."

The SIU's investigation also found "indications that at least one member of a bid evaluation committee had undisclosed links to an entity that formed part of a successful bid. More widely, some bid evaluation committee members did not complete disclosure of interest forms."

Ndala said these figures were based on data analysis and were not yet conclusive as investigations were still continuing.

Efforts to get comment from the police were unsuccessful as police spokesman Colonel Vishnu Naidoo said the department has decided not to respond at this stage.

The investigation covers the period January 1 2005 to August 10 2010.

PEOPLE WHO BRIBE OFFICIALS OR ANY BODY ELSE SHOULD BE JAILED..... THE RECIPIENTS SHOULD
RECEIVE THE SAME SENTENCE.......BUSINESSES INVOLVED IN THESE CRIMES SHOULD BE FORCED TO CLOSE THEIR DOORS. FOR A PERIOD OF TIME AND BE BLACK LISTED.

WHAT SORT OF COUNTRY DO WE LIVE IN WHERE FINGERS ARE EVEN POINTED TO THE HEAD OF STATE.. IF IT IS NOT ABOUT ARMS , ZUMAVILLE OR EXECUTIVE AIRCRAFT OR A TRAVELGATE OR HOUSING SCANDELS THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING CROOKED GOING ON.

WE ARE LIVING IN A COUTRY WHERE THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE ARE POOR AND DO NOT HAVE THE WISDOM TO CHANGE THEIR VOTES. ...AFTER 18 YEARS YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT YOUR VOTES ARE FEEDING THE UPPER 10% AND THAT SOUTH AFRICA WILL BE BACK IN THE BUSH IN 40 TO 50 YEARS FROM NOW.

IT IS ONLY YOU THAT CAN START CREATING A BETTER FUTURE FOR YOUR CHILDREN BY HAVING LESS CHILDREN ..MALEMA IS A TYPICAL POLITICIAN ....HIS OWN INTEREST IS SUPREME..
