Article: Corrupt police get the boot

More than 100 police officials have been kicked off the South African Police Service (SAPS) for their involvement in fraud and corruption.

A "clean-up operation" aimed at rooting out corrupt police officers and staff resulted in 119 SAPS members being dismissed in the 2009/2010 financial year, Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa said.
 
Wow, this section really show it's colours when no body comments on any positive action taken by government/police.

I for one am very happy that these rotten apples are getting plucked, keep up the good work.

Call my cynical but how long before they are employed by SAPS again as this has happened numerous times in other gov. departments where a person gets sacked for fraud/corruption etc only to be employed by them again 12mths down the line.
 
Erm ... they're supposed to lay criminal charges against them after firing their asses.

That one. So they commited crimes and all that happened according to the article is that they were fired.

Way to go justice system!
Hooray \o/
