Crimes of the South African Police Service



A Tshwane metro police internal investigator on Sunday told Eyewitness News Blue Bulls prop Bees Roux may have been the victim of a corrupt trend which was first identified three years ago.

It emerged last week that Sergeant Ntshimane Mogale may have tried to blackmail the rugby player when an altercation took place. Roux, who claimed the officer was trying to rob him, then allegedly beat Mogale to death.

Eyewitness News understands the Tshwane Metro Police Department’s Internal Investigations unit
has called for the Hawks to help them tackle corruption within the ranks.

According to a report this morning, one in every five metro police officers is under investigation for corruption.

That bit of news won’t be much of a jaw-dropper for many South Africans.
