This statement comes amid growing speculation in the media that Masemola is on the verge of being taken into custody for his alleged role in irregular property acquisitions linked to the Crime Intelligence division.

Reports have surfaced suggesting that more than 120 million rand was spent on acquiring properties for Crime Intelligence without following proper procedures.

These allegations come at a time when multiple senior police figures have already been arrested in connection with similar procurement deals.

One of the most high-profile arrests was that of Dumisani Khumalo, the current head of Crime Intelligence, who was detained at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg.

Khumalo and several co-accused are facing charges related to the questionable purchase of properties in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal, valued at around 45 million rand.
