Lieutenant General Molefe Fani.

South African Police Service (SAPS) divisional commissioner for supply chain management, Lieutenant General Molefe Fani, has been suspended.

On Monday, police spokesperson Brigadier Athlenda Mathe said Molefe had been suspended on Friday, after receiving a notice of intention to suspend.

The move comes after Special Investigating Unit (SIU) findings related to his tenure at the National Treasury, where he served as the acting chief procurement officer.

The findings were in connection with a contract that was declared irregular due to non-compliance with supply chain management prescripts, conflict of interest and wasteful expenditure.
