Fannie Masemola, police commissioner, reportedly faces arrest for corruption
Sources an Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC) has issued a warrant of arrest against Police Commissioner Fannie Masemola. Image: Picture: Siyabulela Duda/GCIS Although the Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC) says it cannot discuss any investigations, a message circulated on Whatsapp alleged that Police Commissioner Fannie Masemola could soon face an arrest. The message, which is said to be from sources close to the situation, alleged that IDAC has obtained a warrant of arrest against Masemola for allegedly abusing slush funds from the secret service account of crime intelligence and purchased two properties in Pretoria and Midrand, without adhering to proper procedures. It has been alleged that Masemola conspired with Lieutenant General Dumisani Khumalo, head of crime intelligence, to acquire the properties. Last month, EFF leader Julius Malema said a warrant of arrest was issued against Masemola but a press briefing held by KZN police commissioner, Lieutenant-General Nhlamhla Mkhwanazi, who blew the whistle about infiltration within the law enforcement, caused the postponement of the alleged arrest. Malema added that Masemola conspired with Khumalo, who was arrested for fraud and corruption related to the purchase of a boutique hotel in Pretoria North, reportedly acquired for R22.7 million and a commercial building in Durban, valued at R22.8m. He said Mkhwanazi's briefing was a pre-emptive strategy to delay the arrest. The sources said the warrant of arrest has finally been issued against Masemola and President Cyril Ramaphosa was also briefed about the imminent arrest. Asked to confirm if the allegations are true, IDAC spokesperson Henry Mamothame said the directorate cannot comment on Whatsapp messages or discuss any investigations. 'IDAC is not aware of this investigation and even if it was in IDAC's space we would not comment,' he said. Ramaphosa's spokesperson Vincent Magwenya said President does not discuss law enforcement operational matters. Another source close to the situation told Independent Media that the allegations are true and Ramaphosa has given a go ahead. Acting police minister Professor Firoz Cachalia said he was also not aware of the arrest, adding that IDAC runs its investigations independently and that he appreciates and respects the same. Police spokesperson Athlenda Mathe also said the SAPS was not aware of such allegations, saying questions should be referred to IDAC. According to the sources, Masemola will be charged with corruption, contravention of the Public Finance Management (PFMA) Act, as well as the contravention of Treasurer regulations. 'He colluded with Lt General Dumisani Khumalo, Divisional Commissioner Crime Intelligence and approved global deviation without following procurement prescripts and the abuse of Slush Funds from Secret Service Account of Crime Intelligence to acquire the following properties,'' said sources. Masemola is facing an arrest over the purchase of Veroz Boutique Hotel in Pretoria North for the balloon amount of R34,400,000, which includes R4,500,000 transfer costs. The hotel has 23 bedrooms and a presidential suite. The second property is 75 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms in Kyalami Lodge in Midrand. The lodge is valued at R48,250,000, including transfer costs of R8,000,000. Both properties were acquired in September last year and were approved by Khumalo. 'Both these procurements were approved by Lt General Khumalo the same day,' said the sources. An investigation by Independent Media recently revealed that Masemola and Khumalo received kickbacks related to the intelligence property deals.

Minister Kubayi asserts no executive interference in NPA prosecutions
Justice and Constitutional Development Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi says she has given full support to the National Prosecuting Authority's need for financial and operational independence. Image: Jairus Mmutle / GCIS Justice and Constitutional Development Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi has reaffirmed the independence of the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), asserting that her ministerial oversight does not extend to influence over prosecutorial decisions. 'The Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development exercises final responsibility over the NPA. This role is administrative and policy-oriented and does not extend to involvement in or interference with specific prosecutorial decisions,' Kubayi said. She made the statement when she was responding to parliamentary questions posed by EFF MP Rebecca Mohlala. Mohlala posed the parliamentary questions following the recent allegations made by KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner, Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi. She wanted to know the measures that were in place to guarantee prosecutorial decisions in politically sensitive cases were free from executive interference and undue political influence. In her reply, Kubayi said the Constitution safeguards the NPA's prosecutorial independence. 'It explicitly states that the NPA must exercise its functions without fear, favour or prejudice, which is reinforced by Section 32 of the National Prosecuting Authority Act, 1998 (Act No. 32 of 1998).' She added that the NPA was accountable to Parliament, including for its decisions regarding the institution of prosecutions. The Constitution also provided safeguards against executive interference as it provided that 'national legislation must ensure that the prosecuting authority exercises its functions without fear, favour or prejudice'. 'The NPA is therefore guided by constitutional and legislative provisions that guarantee its independence,' Kubayi said. The minister stated that she did not possess investigative powers and could not initiate or conduct investigations. However, she confirmed that the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) in KwaZulu-Natal has received an enquiry from the SAPS and has dedicated prosecutors to deal with allegations of defeating the administration of justice regarding the disbandment of the Political Killings Task Team. 'The DPP will report to the National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP).' Kubayi added that matters referred to the Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC) were assessed to determine whether or not fell within the IDAC's mandate before a decision was made to investigate. She said there were prescripts that guided the investigations and legal processes that IDAC must follow. 'There are sufficient checks and balances to ensure that there is no interference internal or otherwise. To date there has not been any interference in the matters that IDAC has been dealing with.' Regarding high profile cases, Kubayi said National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP) Shamila Batohi issued directives which require prosecutors in the prosecution of sensitive or contentious nature to inform the DPP concerned in writing about the nature and details of such matters, and the DPP was expected to similarly inform Batohi. The NPA applied the same legal standards and prosecutorial guidelines to all politically sensitive cases. 'Decisions are made based on the sufficiency of evidence, public interest, and the prospects of a successful prosecution. The NPA remains committed to upholding the rule of law and ensuring accountability, irrespective of the status or affiliation of those involved,' Kubayi said. Asked about measures to restore the independence, credibility and public trust in the NPA, Kubayi said addressing the NPA's operational and financial independence has been a long-outstanding issue. She also said since Batohi came to office, addressing aspects of the NPA's operational and financial independence has featured as one of the key strategic initiatives, including the NPA to obtain its own Accounting Officer in order to safeguard its financial independence.
