Police would not comment on a report on Wednesday that they plan to arrest Public Protector Thuli Madonsela.

"We are not going to be drawn into comments attributed to faceless people," said Colonel Vishnu Naidoo.

The Star reported that police planned to arrest Madonsela on charges of fraud and corruption.

Normally where there's smoke there's fire...
So either she's potentially guilty and they have a case against her OR we're heading down a very slippery slope OR hopefully there's no truth to this at all.
 
The question is, is she going to be arrested to intimidate her? In other words, is she going to be arrested for doing her job?

Or is she actually guilty?
 
Sour grapes?

I do hope she doesn't get arrested just out of sheer spite.

BUT if she's 100% guilty of fraud and corruption, then so be it.
 
Nobody else has been arrested for this, so why should she ? As far as i can tell it is a prerequisite for promotion in the ANC.
 
Geez, I wonder who could be behind this arrest ... oh, wait, maybe it's the same people behind the hiring of hitmen trying to off Mzilikazi Wa Africa.

Can these people be any less obvious???!!!
 
Media briefing will take place at 12:00 today!

Johannesburg - Public Protector Thuli Madonsela will react fully to a report that police plan to arrest her at a scheduled, unrelated media briefing at noon on Wednesday, her spokesperson said.

"We will not be commenting until the media briefing at 12," said Kgalalelo Masibi.

"We only became aware of it after The Star media inquiry yesterday," she said, when asked whether she knew of Madonsela's reported pending arrest.

According to an advisory, Madonsela was scheduled to address the National Press Club in Pretoria on Wednesday about an investigation into the alleged improper soliciting of business for donations to the ANC and other issues.

Her office has been investigating processes followed relating to leases for police headquarters in Pretoria and in Durban.

In February, she announced that the R500m Middestad Building lease in Pretoria was signed unlawfully and she said the accounting officer, who she named as police chief General Bheki Cele, was among those responsible.

She also criticised Public Works Minister Gwen Mahlangu for going ahead with the deal in spite of legal advice suggesting otherwise.

Businessman Roux Shabangu was the owner of both buildings.

Police would not comment on The Star report on Wednesday.

"We are not going to be drawn into comments attributed to faceless people," said Colonel Vishnu Naidoo.

The Star reported that police planned to arrest Madonsela on charges of fraud and corruption.

His colleague Brigadier Sally de Beer confirmed that this was the police's position on the report.

Hawks spokesperson McIntosh Polela was not immediately available to comment.

National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson advocate Mthunzi Mhaga said early on Wednesday that he was not aware of charges pending against Madonsela.

Earlier, in an interview on SAFM, Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa said he was surprised at the news.

Madonsela, who was interviewed shortly after Mthethwa, denied involvement in any corrupt activities while working for the SALRC.

This is what happens when you take on Bheki Cele and the Cadres... Corruption 101: When it's obvious to all you are guilty, immediately discredit your accuser and you're set for years and years more pillaging.
What blunomore said... Way to be obvious. :sick:
 
.................. wtf why is she getting Arrested??
For reporting corruption?
 
Love the way she decided to have a public media briefing to put the allegations to rest.

The way to deal with these people is to make public the truth in order for their devious plans to be shown to the public.
 
Let's just hope that the whole story turns out to be nothing more than a rumour that News24 decided to put at the top of their home page.

I doubt she will be arrested but there is a strong possibility of her having a fatal accident or being murdered in another unsolved crime.
