Two suspects, a police official attached to the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI) and a Tembisa Hospital official, are expected to appear before the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court on Monday, 24 November 2025, on charges of corruption.It is alleged that on Friday, 21 November 2025, a #DPCI officer was approached by a 41-year-old suspect, a Sergeant from the DPCI.
The Sergeant informed the officer that a 53-year-old official from Tembisa Hospital wanted to meet regarding an ongoing investigation linked to the hospital. The Sergeant further indicated that the hospital official required assistance and was willing to offer gratification to avoid prosecution in the ongoing investigation. On Sunday, 23 November 2025, a #Hawks member and a Tembisa Hospital official met with the complainant and the investigator in the case, and handed over R100,000.00 in cash as gratification.
An operation authorised by the Director of Public Prosecutions was subsequently executed by the DPCI’s Serious Corruption Investigation unit, leading to the arrest of both the Sergeant and the Tembisa Hospital official.
