Ramaphosa and acting Police minister will address the nation as the police crisis deepens

# President Cyril Ramaphosa is set to address the nation this afternoon amid ongoing turmoil within the South African Police Service. He will be joined by acting Police minister Firoz Cachalia. The address follows national police commissioner Fannie Masemola’s recent appearance in the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court, where he faces four counts related to alleged violations of the Public Finance Management Act. The charges are linked to a controversial 360-million-rand tender awarded to alleged crime boss Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala.
