A Gauteng metro police officer is alleged to have taken R1.5 million in cash bribes in a single day, according to figures provided by Premier Panyaza Lesufi in a parliamentary reply.
Lesufi’s statement relates to corruption concerns within the province’s traffic and metro police services. The report attributes the claim to information disclosed in the premier’s response to parliament, linking the alleged cash amount to alleged bribery activity by a member of the Johannesburg Metro Police Department (JMPD).
