Summary

Chief Inspector Samuel Mashaba, head of Gauteng Traffic Police, is on precautionary suspension after admitting to serious misconduct during testimony before the Madlanga Commission—actions that violate public service ethics and laws. The provincial government is cracking down hard, seizing his equipment, barring him from government premises, and cutting off contact with staff, all while reaffirming its zero-tolerance stance on corruption and misconduct to preserve public trust and institutional integrity.
