“When he never arrived, the police officials at the training academy contacted his commander at the Port Elizabeth 10111 Centre," Beetge said.
The Motherwell Cluster Commander, Major General Dawie Rabie has ordered a full investigation in terms of his absence from reporting for a course as well as causing SAPS expenses to search for him as a missing person.
"Misconduct by our police members cannot be tolerated, and should it be proved that he committed actions contrary to those departmental standing orders and prescriptions guiding the good conduct of our SAPS members, departmental steps will be instituted against him."
