National Police Commissioner Khehla Sitole said there are processes within the SAPS that ensure corrupt officers are brought to book. There are other underlying factors which precede the process of a person becoming an officer,” Sitole said.

“The first one is the existence of a succession plan which the South African Police Service did not necessarily have it formally but we have now formally introduced it, I think, two years ago.

“The succession plan has a short-term and a long-term succession plan but what assists the most is the long-term succession plan because members are taken through leadership growth and leadership principals.
