A budget of R5m has been allocated for two months for a newly established special task team to probe and conduct disciplinary investigations against police officers and individuals implicated at the Madlanga commission of inquiry.
The teams mandate includes investigating 14 individuals flagged by the commission, with a budget of R148m, probing allegations of corruption in the criminal justice system and who should face criminal or disciplinary investigation.
National police commissioner Gen Fannie Masemola told Sowetans sister publication Business Day the task team, comprising detectives and state advocates, has been established, and R5m was budgeted for it for the remaining two months of the financial year.
