While more than 500 suspects escaped from lawful custody, the police have taken disciplinary action against 270 officers who allegedly helped suspects to escape

The disciplinary action led to one police officer being fired and others had their salary docked for two months and got a written warning, said the police in the annual report before Parliament.

“A total number of 545 persons escaped from police custody in 412 incidents, during 2020/2021, compared to 680 persons, during 2019/2020, a decrease of 135 escapees or 19,85%, achieving the targeted decrease of 2%. A total number of 202 escapees were re-arrested within 24 hours after the incident occurred.

The police said they were trying to mitigate these factors and bring down the number of prisoners who escape while in custody.

What do we expect 😏

Disciplined? It proven it should lead to immediate dismissal, with criminal charges to follow. No ?

Surely you don’t mean disciplined . You must mean fired and jailed

Fire why discipline

They should be fired period

Worst case 1/270 fired others had salaries docked what a circus this ANC is, is actually so sad all one can is laugh. Any one voting ANC deserves to suffer they choose it

Why disciplined instead of firing rotten apples.

1 fired & others had their salaries docked No criminal charges? Surely assisting criminals escape is a criminal offence SAPoliceService MYANC ? No wonder we becoming a banana republic

270 and counting; and we wonder why we have crime at such unbelievable levels!!! pssst, the SAPoliceService needs to ask their recruitment officers some serious questions! urgh
