South African Police Captain Suspended for Alleged Cash Scam: A captain in the Protection and Security Services unit in Tshwane was suspended for allegedly embezzling three million rand by faking claims it was cash for transport tied to guarding President Cyril Ramaphosa. The scam was discovered after payments were flagged in the police finance system, leading to an internal and criminal probe. The captain manipulated the system to pull out lump sums in cash, which was never used for its intended purpose. The South African Police Service is already reeling from corruption scandals, and this incident further strains their reputation. Meanwhile, twelve senior officers were arrested over a shady tender linked to a suspected cartel figure, and Police Commissioner Fannie Masemola faces a court date over the matter. SAPS vows zero tolerance for fraud in their ranks.
