Isn't admitting to blatant corruption enough to arrest on the spot where he sits in that room even if he thinks its not corruption?

The house cat from Vlak is really not the first prize, and he will probably be going to jail anyway, if we don't get any incriminating evidence against all the people he was bribing, him going to jail would be such a hollow victory.

Now this is what we want to see, not parties putting narrow political agendas before their country, we should be united against false claims of white genocide and whatever Trump comes up with.

Well done to the DA and the EFF, looking forward to the other parties explicitly condemning Trump's false claims.

What is the point to all this anyway when no one is going to jail at the end of the day?

For a start, it gets undesirable people out of the way, the suspension and political side lining would be good for the country, unless you think it doesn't make any difference if a lowlife like Sibiya was still in his job and even competing to be the national commissioner.

I wonder if Steenhuisen is viewed as a traitor by the volk ?

He is, but it is a chance for the DA to rid themselves of right wingers, once and for all, the problem they have with the right wingers is exactly the problem the ANC had with Zuma supporters, at the end of the day they learnt a very hard lesson, had they let go of them when Mbeki fired the Nkandla Thief, they would have long moved past that.

The DA would do well for their own sake to lance the boil now and get it done with.
 
The South African Police Service (SAPS) closed most of its specialised units in a phased process that primarily took place between 2000 and 2009, during the tenure of National Commissioner Jackie Selebi.
Key events in the closure and restructuring process:
  • 2001: Then-Commissioner Selebi announced that most specialised investigative units would be consolidated into three main units: the Organised Crime Unit (OCU), the Serious and Violent Crime Unit (SVC), and the Commercial Crime Unit (CCU). Long-standing units like the South African Narcotics Bureau (SANAB) and the internal Anti-Corruption Unit were closed down at this time.
  • 2003: The SAPS confirmed that 288 of the former specialised units had been closed, with the exception of those dealing with child protection and sexual offences.
  • 2006-2008: A further round of restructuring and disbandment took place during this period.
  • 2009: The process of closing or decentralising units was largely complete by this time, and the former police minister Nathi Mthethwa spoke of reviewing the disbandment.
The closure led to a significant loss of expertise in investigating complex crimes and had a negative impact on the fight against serious and violent crime. The Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences (FCS) units were later re-established in the early 2010s following a review and public pressure. The re-establishment of other specialised units has been a subject of ongoing debate and calls from police unions and civil society for many years.
