The Public Protector PP has released a report on allegations of irregularities in the establishment, appointment, and deployment of Gauteng's Crime Prevention Wardens CPW, also known as Amapanyaza , an initiative led by Premier Panyaza Lesufi.
The investigation, prompted by a complaint from Advocate Paul Hoffman, found that the Gauteng Department of Community Safety acted without an empowering legal framework, resulting in maladministration.
The scathing report found that the recruitment and deployment of 6 000 CPWs were not supported by any empowering legislation.
