General Fannie Masemola, the National Police Commissioner, has delayed suspending Mpumalanga Police Commissioner General Daphney Manamela amid serious misconduct allegations, insiders from SAPS reveal. Manamela is accused of several offenses, including misuse of state vehicles for personal trips and coercing a subordinate to buy her specific shoes for approving a transfer. Furthermore, she allegedly installed CCTV systems at the provincial headquarters in Mbombela without authorization to spy on colleagues. Manamela is also accused of intimidating staff and using derogatory language towards subordinates, including a deputy district commissioner and a provincial head of supply chain management. This decision to postpone her suspension comes as the nation approaches an election period.
