Ramaphosa Rejects Investigation into Misconduct Allegations Against Masemola and Cele

President Cyril Ramaphosa has declined a request for a board of inquiry into allegations of sabotage and misconduct concerning South African Police Service (SAPS) Commissioner General Fanie Masemola.

Mashale’s Claims

The urgent request for an investigation into General Masemola’s actions was submitted by Elias Muller, a communist activist, following a controversial Facebook post by Mashale, which implied that Masemola was targeting high-ranking officials, including former police minister Bheki Cele.

Mashale accused Masemola of fearing that Cele might replace him with Lieutenant-General Tebello Mosikili, and that he organized a meeting with her at a guest house in Bloemfontein to discuss various matters, including inquiries involving Cele and other senior SAPS officials.

In a letter addressed to Ramaphosa, Muller called for an immediate investigation, outlining eight key areas that warranted scrutiny, such as whether Masemola’s actions harmed the SAPS’s reputation, if he violated constitutional mandates, or misused his power for personal gain.

However, Ramaphosa’s spokesperson, Vincent Magwenya, stated that the president would not pursue a board of inquiry, stressing that decisions would not be swayed by social media debates.

National police spokesperson Athlenda Mathe also declined to comment, citing a lack of evidence to support Mashale’s claims. Meanwhile, former police minister Bheki Cele and violence monitor Mary de Haas have either remained silent or provided minimal comments on the situation.

Nonetheless, De Haas acknowledged her awareness of issues surrounding Masemola’s conduct, including concerns about personal safety and possible surveillance. She mentioned reaching out to Ramaphosa to express her concerns and had communicated with the police portfolio committee regarding the matters raised by Mashale and other SAPS members.
