SAPU CALLS ON THE NATIONAL COMMISSIONER TO INVESTIGATE MPUMALANGA COMMISSIONER
The South African Policing Union (SAPU) would like to call upon National Commissioner, General John Khehla Sitole to launch a speedy investigation into serious allegations levelled against the Mpumalanga Provincial Police Commissioner, Lieutenant-General Mondli Zuma. The allegations levelled against Lt-Gen. Zuma are so serious that there is no way that they can be swept under the carpet.
Serious allegations like these are not only a major cause for concern, they are also criminal. Without passing any judgement in this issue, SAPU feels it is only fair that General Sitole investigate these allegations. These allegations will compromise service delivery as already police officers are demoralized. We are also sensing that these allegations could be a source of instability in policing in Mpumalanga.
SAPU is calling for a speedy and a transparent investigation. If the allegations are true, disciplinary and criminal processes should ensue and if they are found to be untrue, the Provincial Commissioner should be given the space to perform his duty without any hindrance. The cloud hanging over Lt-Gen. Zuma must be dealt with swiftly. We call upon General Sitole to act with speed regarding these serious allegations. We cannot afford to have a situation like this where the top cop in a province is alleged to be acting unlawfully like this. We are extremely unhappy that the Mpumalanga SAPS is alleged to be involved in behind the scenes and dark corner deals of secret promotions without following due processes. Hundreds of police officers countrywide, including in Mpumalanga, have been waiting for their long overdue promotions. Allegations of unfair and undeserved promotions will cause unnecessary tensions within our ranks.

SAPU IS CALLING FOR THE RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF THE SPECIALISED UNITS IN SAPS
South African Policing Union (SAPU) in the Eastern Cape has noted with grave concern the increase in mass murders taking place in our province. This weekend several people were killed at a private birthday party in Nomjila Street, Kwazakhele. This is the third incident of mass killings in the last two weeks. SAPU calls for the establishment of specialised units, specifically Murder and Robbery units which must focus on the mass killings which leave many families stricken with grief. These families have a right to have these killings speedily investigated and that the perpetrators are arrested and charged. Since 2020 South African Policing Union (SAPU) has called on the SAPS management to re-establish all specialized units which were closed in 2008. The closure of these units has hindered investigations and has demoralized dedicated and committed police officers. Murder and robbery as well as serious and violent crime units were among those units closed, thus the rise in those crimes. The recent establishment of police teams to deal with specific types of crimes has vindicated SAPU’s call for specialized units to be brought back. The implications of these high crime levels and the increases are enormous, and they need to be addressed, we can’t wait we need to do this now.

The South African Policing Union in the Northern Cape is concerned about SAPS electing to collaborate with some but not all community members across all demographics in the Province to fight crime and social injustice.
