The Democratic Alliance (DA) in the City of Ekurhuleni welcomes the swift action taken by the Independent Police Investigating Directorate (IPID) in arresting six Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department (EMPD) Constables for alleged robbery and defeating the ends of justice.

The DA has repeatedly warned of rogue elements operating within the EMPD, tarnishing the reputation, and undermining the work of honest members of the department

We are pleased that IPID has taken heed of our concerns and is investigating those who are accused of wrongdoing.

As a party that abides by the rule of law, the DA will await the outcome of the investigation and see to it that justice is served.
