“We are saddened to name and shame our own‚” said acting head of the Hawks Major General Mthandazo Ntlemeza in reaction to the granting of bail to 15 SAPS officers and garage employees.
They were released on bail by various magistrates courts in the Eastern Cape on Thursday‚ following their arrests on Tuesday for allegedly stripping police vehicles and selling the parts to the members of the public.
“We hope the arrests of these officers will send a stern warning to others and serve as a lesson that the Hawks’ claws are out to pounce on anyone who is found to be on the wrong side of the law‚” said Ntlemeza.
“We are saddened to name and shame our own members but to show that we are serious about rooting out corruption and all forms of criminality within the service and the country at large‚ charity had to begin at home.”
