Description

A police constable in Limpopo is facing serious corruption charges after allegedly extorting 10,000 rand from a timber truck driver who couldn’t produce a permit. The officer took the driver’s phone, contacted the owner, and demanded payment via his bank account—only accepting 1,000 rand before detaining the driver. The case was never enrolled in court but referred to the Provincial Anti-Corruption Unit, and on June 15, 2026, the constable was officially charged. He must appear in court on August 24 to face the music—raising serious questions about law enforcement integrity.
