Crimes of the South African Police Service



South Africans have become accustomed to media reports alleging involvement of policemen in serious crimes. The Institute of Race Relations has become increasingly concerned at the number and nature of these reports. To determine the scale of the problem, the Institute assigned a researcher to source as much information as possible on the involvement of police officers in committing crime.

The re...sults were alarming.

The Institute consulted journalists, media reports, and information from the Independent Complaints Directorate (ICD) . Within a week, a list of over 100 separate incidents alleging and/or confirming the police’s involvement in serious crimes was drawn up.

The Institute’s researchers stopped looking for more incidents after compiling this list of the first 100. Without exception, the 100 incidents identified in this report are related to very serious, often violent, pre-mediated criminal behaviour. These included RAPES, MURDERS, ATM bombings, armed robberies, house robberies, and serious assaults.

Cape cops appear for rape
2013-07-22 22:12

Cape Town - Two Western Cape policemen accused of raping women in their official cars appeared separately in court on Monday, the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) said.

Spokesperson Moses Dlamini said a 46-year-old captain appeared in the Worcester Magistrate's Court and his case was postponed until Friday for bail information.

A woman alleged she was raped on 20 June in the captain's official car and that he threatened to shoot her and her son if she reported him, Dlamini said.

The captain was arrested on Thursday.

A 28-year-old police constable appeared in the same court, also on a rape charge.

The matter was postponed until Thursday for a formal bail application. The constable confronted a woman for alleged riotous behaviour on Saturday, while he was on duty.

He parked his police car behind a school, before allegedly threatening her with his service firearm and raping her in the vehicle.

The woman laid a charge and the constable was arrested the same day.

Police captain held over firearm sales

Johannesburg - A police captain from Nelspruit was arrested and charged with illegal trafficking in firearms, Beeld reported on Wednesday.
Additional charges of corruption and theft were also laid against Captain Godfrey Lubisi, 57, who was arrested at work.
Police said the arrest followed a year-long investigation, after rumours that weapons were being sold from the Nelspruit police station for as little as R2 000.
Lubisi allegedly sold a .22 rifle, a collector's item dating back to 1925, to a member of the public in January.
Lubisi reportedly took the man to the store where firearms submitted by members of the public for later destruction were kept.
He gave Lubisi over R2 000, as he had apparently agreed to also supply a firearm licence.
The investigation was delayed because nobody wanted to make a statement, then two weeks ago, new information came to light.
It emerged that Lubisi had also illegally sold a Taurus .357 Magnum revolver for R2 000.
On Tuesday, police also found a large number of firearm licences that had to be collected from the police station, allegedly under the seat of Lubisi's car.
Police spokesman Brigadier Selvy Mohlala said police would oppose bail. - Sapa

Johannesburg - A Johannesburg metro police officer was arrested on Thursday for allegedly raping a woman in Protea Glen, Soweto, a spokesman said.
The 37-year-old officer was accused of raping the 23-year-old woman at his home in Protea Glen on Wednesday, said Chief Superintendent Wayne Minnaar.
She escaped and went to the police.
Minnaar said the arrest showed that the Johannesburg metro police would not hesitate to do their duty.
“Officers will have no mercy when it comes to the safety of the public, even if it means arresting one of their own,” he said.
The man would appear soon in the Protea Magistrate's Court.

Amanda Sheleni arrested for attempted housebreaking is being investigated for other crimes she may have been involved in, police say.
Cape Town - A former Steenberg police officer arrested for attempted housebreaking is being investigated for other crimes she may have been involved in, police say.
Amanda Sheleni was arrested after she was found to be the driver of a getaway car used by an alleged gang of smash-and-grab perpetrators last month.
The former policewoman was fired from the police force last year and is being investigated for several other possible criminal cases.
Police spokesman Captain FC van Wyk said: “She was already dismissed from her job last year in December for a separate criminal case.
“It is the second time that she has been arrested for being involved in criminal activity.”
He said police were investigating how many other cases the 30-year-old could possibly be connected to.
“She will be dealt with according to the full extent of the law.
“We don’t know how many cases she was involved in,” said Van Wyk.
On April 23, Sheleni’s two alleged accomplices were arrested for attempted housebreaking in the city centre at a car dealership.
Police arrested the pair with the help of the City of Cape Town’s closed circuit television system.
The next day, Sheleni, who was driving a Toyota Yaris, was arrested.
According to media reports, the three suspects were caught on camera as they tried to smash their way into a car dealership. One of the suspects picked up what appeared to be a large brick and threw it at the shop window.
Sheleni was allegedly captured on camera driving the getaway car away from the scene.
According to police, the modus operandi used by the three suspects was to approach the premises of a business, smash a window and grab whatever was of value.
The trio were denied bail at the Cape Town Magistrate’s Court last month and are due in court on May 30.

Four Free State cops arrested [for attempted murder, driving under the influence of alcohol, corruption and theft]
September 27 2013 at 07:56pm
By SAPA


Independent Newspapers
Bloemfontein - Four police constables have been arrested for crimes in the Free State, police said on Friday.
They were arrested on Monday for the separate crimes of attempted murder, driving under the influence of alcohol, corruption and theft, said Brigadier Billy Jones.
He said a 36-year-old constable allegedly assaulted his 40-year-old wife during an argument in Makwallo, Vredefort, at 3.30pm on Monday.
“According to information, he also instructed her to leave the house, on which she refused and he subsequently fired four shots at her with his service pistol, but she was not hit,” he said in a statement.
“The suspect was arrested and his official firearm and ammunition were booked into the evidence room.”
The policeman, who was stationed at the Boksburg police station, was charged with attempted murder.
At 11.30pm the same day, a 29-year-old constable stationed at the 10111 Centre in Heidedal was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol.
Heidedal police were called to the scene of an accident near Heidedal police station, where the driver of a BMW had hit the back of a Nissan Lavina.
“The constable, who was the driver of the BMW, was then arrested for driving under the influence of liquor after a blood sample was taken.
He was off-duty at the time of the incident and was released on a warning, said Jones.
The police would decide whether to suspend him when the results of the blood test were known.
Jones said a third policeman, a 28-year-old constable stationed at Bultfontein, was arrested for corruption and theft after allegedly selling his official firearm to a Lesotho man in a tavern for R900.
Jones said the firearm had not been recovered, but the buyer had been arrested and charged with theft of a police firearm.
The constable was served with a notice of suspension on Thursday.
Jones said a 25-year-old constable was arrested in Philippolis for attempted murder.
“It is alleged that the suspect was on duty and was involved in an argument over a girlfriend with the victim in Poding-Tse-Rolo, Philippolis,” he said.
“The victim alleges that a shot was fired at him with the service pistol of the constable, which missed him.”
Newly-appointed provincial commissioner Lt-Gen Thabethe Mpembe said the arrests should serve as a warning to other police officials who were “custodians of the law”.
He said crime would not be tolerated.

Cop sold me police docket, claims suspect
September 30 2013 at 10:49am
By Lungelo Mkamba


Durban -
A Chatsworth police colonel is being investigated by the Independent Police Investigative Directorate after being accused by a suspected drug dealer of selling a police docket to him for R10 000.
The directorate confirmed on Friday that Colonel Bongani Biyela, the head of the detective service at the Chatsworth police station, was facing corruption charges after Strini Naidoo, a suspected whoonga/sugars dealer, was allegedly found in possession of a police docket earlier this month during a drug raid on his house.
Naidoo, 39, has appeared in the Chatsworth Magistrate’s Court, facing charges of theft and defeating the ends of justice.
Police had received a tip-off that drugs were being sold at Naidoo’s house in Klaarwater Road, Shallcross.
The docket, registered to Chatsworth police station, was found during the search.
The docket contained a charge against Naidoo – of assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, which was reported earlier this month.
According to a policeman with knowledge of the case, Naidoo was evasive when asked about the docket. He then told the detectives that he paid Biyela R10 000 for the docket.
The police referred the matter to the directorate.
Directorate spokesman Moses Dlamini said the investigation was ongoing, and no arrests had been made.
Biyela was contacted for comment on Sunday, but said he was not allowed to talk to the media.
Another policeman said the allegations were a campaign to have Biyela ousted because he was fighting corruption and drug dealers.
“There are people within the police trying to remove him. It’s a plot. He would not take money.
When the time is right, he will speak out,” he said.
Police spokesman Jay Naicker said he could not respond because the matter was with the directorate.
Naicker said Biyela remained on active duty despite calls by drug activists for his suspension.
“They remain mere allegations made by a drug dealer, and we await the outcome of the investigation,” Naicker said.

Boere weer onwettig in hegtenis geneem

Deur Alani Janeka, 25 November 2013 http://www.landbou.co.za/nuus/boere-weer-onwettig-in-hegtenis-geneem
"Dit lyk asof wederregtelike inhegtenisnemings van boere weer kop uitsteek, waarsku Agri SA.

“Of dit uit onkunde of moedswillig is, kan ons nie nou bepaal nie, maar dit is duidelik dat onwettige inhegtenisnemings van boere weer kop uitsteek.”

Dit is een van die aspekte wat Agri SA se veiligheidskomitee onlangs tydens ’n vergadering bespreek het, sê mnr. Kobus Breytenbach, voorsitter.

’n Paar jaar gelede het die voorvalle ook gereeld voorgekom. Breytenbach sê die voorvalle word in talle provinsies aangemeld, hoewel dit nou veral in Noordwes voorkom.

“'n Opname van die voorvalle word gedoen om die omvang en voorkoms daarvan te bepaal, sodat verdere optrede met die polisie bespreek kan word,” sê Agri SA in ’n verklaring.

Breytenbach versoek mense wat só in hegtenis geneem word, om hulself nie te verset nie, want dan kan die beampte ’n saak van verset teen inhegtisneming aanhangig maak wat wel wetlik vervolg kan word.

Onaanvaarbare aspek

Die komitee meen dat landelike misdaad een van die onaanvaarbare aspekte is waarmee landbouers op 'n daaglikse basis gekonfronteer word.

“Nie net moet hulle daarmee saamleef nie, maar die hoë vlakke daarvan lei tot onaanvaarbare koste en verliese vir landbouers.”

Die toepassing van die Landelike Beveiligingstrategie word ook fyn dopgehou, hoewel die toeganglikheid van polisiëring vir landelike gemeenskappe ’n kwessie bly.

’n Ooreenkoms bestaan wel tussen Agri SA en CrisisOnCall oor die verskafifng van ’n verskeidenheid dienste in krisis- en noodsituasie, en boere word aangemoedig om daarvan gebruik te maak. Besoek www.crisisoncall.co.za vir meer inligting.

Met volgende jaar se verkiesing in gedagte het die komitee reeds die Onafhanklike Verkiesingskommissie (OVK) in kennis gestel dat hy bereid is om met die OVK saam te werk.

Die OVK het vroeër die protokol onderteken waarvolgens reëls vir besoeke uiteengesit word, én waarin bepaal word dat politieke byeenkomste weg van die plaas by openbare plekke aangebied moet word.
