We can not turn a blind eye an

The Inkatha Freedom Party has called for an independent commission of inquiry into alleged corruption within the police services.

"On a daily basis we read and hear of numerous allegations of corruption, maladministration, nepotism, intimidation and other improper conduct within the metro police and the SA Police Service," IFP spokesperson Velaphi Ndlovu said on Thursday.

The Independent Complaints Directorate - an independent mechanism established to ensure policing took place within a human rights ethic and that officers not upholding the rule of law be held accountable for their actions - was unfortunately not doing their job, Ndlovu said.

"The situation has become so extreme now that we can not turn a blind eye any longer.

"We need to appoint an independent judicial commission of inquiry to thoroughly investigate all allegations and to make comprehensive recommendations in this regard.

"We need to find out why it is that we frequently hear that those who should be protecting us, are in fact criminals themselves. Urgent recommendations and solutions are needed," Ndlovu said.
