Pretoria – Tlabo Ezekiel Maputla, aged 53, who was a former warrant officer with the South African Police Service in Limpopo has been convicted for corruption by the Polokwane Specialised Commercial Crimes court.
Maputla who was stationed at SAPS Westernburg as a detective was arrested by the Hawks’ Serious Corruption Investigation members in Polokwane on October 13, 2020 for extorting money from a person who had been arrested for dealing in drugs"in order to make his docket disappear", according to Hawks Limpopo spokesperson Captain Matimba Maluleke.
“The victim paid R6 000 in the past but Maputla kept on pestering and demanding more money until the matter was reported to the Hawks. Maputla was netted in broad daylight at Polokwane city after receiving a further R5 900 from the victim,” said Maluleke.In July, three police officers were arrested in Johannesburg for possession of at least 552 bricks of cocaine with an estimated street value of R200 million which was stashed in a police vehicle, a Nissan bakkie.

So the criminals refused to add an extra R100-nyana vele?🤷♂️. This figure is working on my numerical OCD 😂🤣😂
We don't want people like him in our society he is a thief
He lost his job for 12Tau
Spirit of poverty. Just 11 grand? Probably that was his net salary. Now career flushed down the toilet for good for such small change. What a shame
If SA was a country with real laws the detective was to be hanged/killed without spending too much of our taxes on.
