Democratic Alliance slams SAPS and PSIRA over R667 million in irregular spending
The Mercury
|November 05, 2025
THE AUDITOR-GENERAL'S report presented in the Police Portfolio Committee yesterday exposes the shocking reality that SAPS and PSIRA are operating with a complete absence of consequence management.
Together, the two entities account for over R667 million in irregular spending in 2024/25, which includes R184m identified this financial year, but relating to the prior year.
Further, SAPS alone is sitting on R2.5 billion in unresolved irregular expenditure.
The same audit findings keep repeating, oversight is weak, and governance failures are persistent, eroding public confidence in policing and its oversight. The SAPS is in a state of near-collapse. Mismanagement here is not an abstract concept. It affects the safety and security of South Africans every single day.
