Acting National Police Commissioner Lieutenant General Puleng Dimpane has welcomed the dismissal of Brigadier Rachel Matjeng from the South African Police Service (SAPS), effective 30 June 2026, following an internal disciplinary process.
Matjeng was found guilty of multiple misconduct charges, including accepting gratification, money laundering, dishonesty, and allegedly acting in the interests of alleged underworld figure Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala by providing him with confidential information about SAPS members.
“The outcome sends a clear message that corruption, criminality and any form of collusion with criminals have no place within the South African Police Service,” Dimpane said.
Her dismissal follows recommendations by the Madlanga Commission, which referred several senior SAPS officials for investigation over alleged wrongdoing.
