SEVEN SAPS OFFICERS ARRESTED BY JMPD TACTICAL REACTION UNIT FOR EXTORTION AND KIDNAPPING

The Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department (JMPD) @JoburgMPD Tactical Reaction Unit (TRU) has arrested seven South African Police Service (SAPS) @SAPoliceService officers on charges of extortion and kidnapping following an incident involving an illegal miner, commonly referred to as a “Zama Zama,” in possession of material used to refine gold.

The incident unfolded when the SAPS officers allegedly demanded R5,000 from the Zama Zama, later escalating their demand to R30,000. The officers are said to have transported the individual to a loaning facility to secure the payment. While awaiting the funds, the JMPD TRU intervened, apprehending the officers on the scene.

The Zama Zama is currently providing a statement to authorities. The arrested officers are being detained at Booysens Police Station, where a case of extortion and kidnapping has been opened.

The JMPD remains committed to upholding the rule of law and rooting out corruption. Investigations are ongoing, and further details will be provided as they become available.

This week, flights were delayed and diverted at Cape Town International Airport due to a fuel pump failure under the management of Airports Company South Africa (ACSA). Earlier this month, alarming reports revealed that ACSA has fuel supply at OR Tambo International Airport only until the end of January 2025, raising grave concerns about operational stability in February.
