The chairperson of parliament's police portfolio committee has called for skills and lifestyle audits for senior police officers after KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazis allegations about the police ministers ties to the underworld and corrupt police officers.
Speaking in parliament on Monday, Ian Cameron said Mkhwanazis damning allegations have placed the focus on the lack of integrity in the police.
He said an independent body must undertake lifestyle audits of all senior officers.
Why do I say that? Theres a huge question about vetting, security clearance, and so on in the senior ranks of the SAPS.
Weve asked questions regarding vetting and we often hear theres a backlog with the State Security Agency and therefore vetting is behind.
