South Africas Investigating Directorate Against Corruption arrests twelve senior police officers and summons National Police Commissioner Fannie Masemola over an alleged irregular tender. The tender, worth R360 million, was awarded to Medicare Twenty-Four, a company owned by businessman Vusimuzi Matlala, who faces fraud and money laundering charges. The investigation began in 2024 after the polices Risk Audit Unit flagged suspicions. The directorate insists that the arrests are not linked to other probes and that Masemola is charged under the Public Finance Management Act for procurement slip-ups, not corruption. The tender has been scrapped, and the directorate claims to have solid evidence. The case will be heard in court on April 21st.
