MITCHELLS PLAIN, Western Cape: A police sergeant is expected to appear in the Mitchells Plain Magistrate's Court tomorrow on a corruption charge after he was arrested during an anti-corruption sting operation at Mitchells Plain SAPS yesterday.

According to SAPS media liaison Sgt Wesley Twigg, members of the Anti-Corruption Unit arrested the officer after he accepted cash to take dagga and tobacco into the police holding cells.

Twigg said the sergeant was caught in the act and the cash was found in his possession. The dagga and tobacco were subsequently confiscated from the cells.

Western Cape provincial commissioner Lt Gen Sizakhele Dyantyi warned SAPS members against becoming involved in corrupt activities, saying there would be zero tolerance for officers who accepted bribes or abused their positions.

Welkom. Ek is Anchen Coetzee. Ek skryf al gedigte vandat ek ‘n kind is. Die gedigte op hierdie kanaal is tussen 1985 en 2023 geskryf en gepubliseer onder Antjie Somers, Annie Vannie Kaap of onder my eie naam. Elke woord is my eie. Ek het met behulp van KI (AI) my eie stem laat herskep en my gedigte begin toonset - nie om die geskrewe woord te vervang nie, maar om dit nog ’n manier te gee om my liefde vir woorde met ander te deel. Ek sal altyd glo dat woorde op papier die hardste slaan. Hierdie kanaal vorm deel van my groter projek om byna vier dekades se gepubliseerde digwerk weer bymekaar te bring, om te lees, om te hoor en om te bewaar. Welkom in my wêreld. - Anchen Coetzee
