Local top cop implicated in fraud is suspended without pay

The Benoni SAPS cluster commander, Brig Vuyokazi Ndebele, has been suspended without pay, following fraud allegations.

National police spokesperson Lieut-Gen Solomon Makgale said the suspension is effective from August 14.

The 49-year-old Ndebele previously appeared briefly in the Moroka Magistrates Court, in Soweto, on charges of fraud, after being arrested on July 27.

She was released on bail of R2 000 and warned to appear on August 18, for further investigations.

Makgale then said: “It is alleged that, while recruiting entry level candidates for the Moroka policing area, the officer unprocedurally changed the recommended list of recruits to include three candidates who had not met the SAPS criteria.

“It is believed that the three candidates were known to her at the time of appointment.”
