Director of Assets at the Tshwane Metro Police, Tshukudu Malatji, is expected to testify at the Madlanga Commission as it resumes on Thursday morning.
The proceedings have been delayed in a bid to resolve Malatji’s hearing aid.
He is expected to testify on the alleged corruption, tender manipulation and mismanagement in the TMPD.
His testimony comes after his two superiors, TMPD chief Commissioner Yolande Faro and deputy commissioner Sean Bolhuis, testified before the commission this week.
Faro said she was in shock and dismay at the corruption and alleged siphoning of money in the department.
However, she vowed to root out corruption within her ranks, declaring an end to inaction and empty rhetoric as claims of financial misconduct and oversight failures grip her department.
“I don’t want this to be a talk show,” she said firmly. “I will report on the progress we make, even beyond this process.”
Meanwhile, Bolhuis painted a picture of internal failures, distancing himself from a series of controversial decisions made while he served as caretaker head of the Asset Protection, Security and Services Unit between July 2024 and February 2025.
That unit is responsible for safeguarding critical municipal infrastructure, often relying on private firms.
The inquiry is currently underway.
