Deputy President Paul Mashatile addresses questions in Parliament focused on efforts to combat corruption within the South African Police Service (SAPS) and the adequacy of government oversight. During his appearance at the NCOP, he says the administration is “cleaning up” SAPS by strengthening anti-corruption measures. MPs raise concerns about past failures in monitoring and oversight, and they ask what progress has been made in tackling internal police corruption. The discussion centers on how effectively existing systems identify, investigate, and prevent corrupt conduct among police officials, and whether accountability mechanisms are functioning as intended. Mashatile responds by outlining steps the government is taking to improve anti-corruption controls and enforcement within SAPS, positioning the measures as part of a broader effort to reduce wrongdoing inside the police. The exchange reflects continued scrutiny by lawmakers over internal policing integrity, the pace of reforms, and the results achieved so far.
