Suspended South African Police Service (SAPS) National Commissioner General Fannie Masemola says he is ready to return to work after charges linked to an Independent Directorate of Accountability Commission (IDAC) motivation are dropped. He indicates that he is awaiting the approval of President Cyril Ramaphosa, who is described as the authority needed for Masemola to resume his duties.

The report frames Masemola’s position around his stated desire to serve the country, while also emphasizing the administrative and leadership process required before he can act in his role again. It does not provide further detail on the underlying allegations, the decision-making process behind the dropping of the charges, or how the suspension is formally concluded. No other outlets’ accounts are included here for comparison, so differing angles cannot be assessed beyond this single source’s account.
