Police top management condemns immoral acts

The South African Police top management has strongly condemned the immoral acts illustrated in newspapers earlier this week.

The despicable behavior by the Correctional Services member and police reservist female has not only brought the SAPS into disrepute but it has also embarrassed her colleagues and other police men and women. "The immediate dismissal of the reservist is indeed very encouraging and this is indicative of how seriously we view such immorality," said acting National Commissioner, Lieutenant General Godfrey Lebeya.

The remedial action will no doubt serve as a strong warning to all our members of the consequences for not upholding the moral and ethical values of the SAPS as it is entrenched in our code of conduct.

While the SAPS neither condones nor tolerates such actions by the reservist, it also has to be said that the publication of such pictures in recent newspapers was insensitive as it was exposed to children who are underage.
