Acting Police Minister Firoz Cachalia says corruption is a serious threat to national security. He says it is deeply enshrined in institutions and political structures in the country.
Cachalias statements come as the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry and a Parliamentary Ad Hoc committee investigate allegations of corruption among senior police officials and the infiltration of the justice system.
He was speaking at the Kgalema Motlanthe Foundation s Annual Inclusive Growth Forum in the Drakensberg in KwaZulu-Natal.
