TMPD to suspend traffic cop caught soliciting bribe
Tshwane Metro Police Department says a traffic officer captured on camera soliciting a bribe from a motorist will be suspended.
The officer was filmed on Nelson Mandela Road near Fountains Valley in Groenkloof on Saturday.
Saturday’s incident has since gone viral on social media.
TMPD spokesperson Isaac Mahamba said the officer had been served with a notice of intention to suspend.
"TMPD notes with great concern the video circulating on social media platforms. In response to the alleged bribery, the TMPD instituted an internal investigation.
"The member will be served with a notice of intention to suspend, and he must furnish the department with reasons why he must not be suspended within 48 hours.
"A statement from the complainant and the member is required as part of the investigation process.
"These accusations of corruption are incompatible with the department's beliefs and principles and will be handled decisively," he added
