The South African Police Service says every police member who worked during the World Cup has now been paid.
Police spokesperson Sally de Beer says the processing of overtime applications for the 44-thousand police members who worked during the month-long tournament proved to be a logistical nightmare.
She says about 650-million-Rand has now been paid out. De Beer says they are relieved that all police members have now been paid their dues.
Meanwhile, this morning members attached to the DPCI’s Organised Crime Unit (Hawks), arrested two police members stationed at Woodstock at their respective residences on charges of corruption.
A 28 year old constable was arrested at his Mitchell’s Plain residence, and shortly afterwards a 44 year old sergeant was arrested at his home in Northpine, Kraaifontein,Lieutenant Colonel Andrè Traut said.
The members are suspected of couriering drugs for drug traffickers in return for cash in the Woodstock area.
The two suspects are in police custody, and are due to make a court appearance tomorrow in Cape Town.
