MR VELAPHI NDLOVU MP
 IFP SAFETY AND SECURITY SPOKESPERSON

Madame Speaker,

The Inkatha Freedom Party believes the time has come for a Jali Commission type of inquiry into alleged corruption within the police forces of South Africa.

On a daily basis we read and hear of numerous allegations of corruption, maladministration, nepotism, intimidation and other improper conduct within the metro police and the South African Police Service (SAPS).

The Independent Complaints Directorate (ICD), an independent mechanism established to ensure that policing in our country takes place within a human rights ethic and that those officers who do not uphold the rule of law are held accountable for their actions, is unfortunately NOT doing their job.

The situation has become so extreme now that we can not turn a blind eye any longer. We need to appoint an independent judicial commission of inquiry to thoroughly investigate ALL allegations and to make comprehensive recommendations in this regard.
