In a statement issued, Western Cape MEC for Community Safety, Dan Plato says He welcomes the continued action the South African Police Service is taking in the Western Cape, against police officers that think they are above the law.

This follows the three police officials nabbed for various charges which include defeating the ends of justice and corruption. He said the SAPS have his full support as there is no place in the Western Cape, for corruption.

He continued by saying he believes there is nothing as damaging for the SAPS as the breakdown in the relationship between them, as custodians of the law, and the communities.
