 Two Phalaborwa police officers to appear in court for allegedly stealing scap metal.


Two police officers, aged 43 and 50, stationed at Phalaborwa, are set to appear before the Phalaborwa Magistrate’s Court on 24 February 2025, to face theft charges. The officers were allegedly involved in corrupt activities, specifically the unauthorised sale of copper exhibits seized during various criminal cases in Phalaborwa.


According to reports, the pair was authorised to dispose of the copper exhibits on 1 February 2024. However, instead of following proper procedures, they sold the exhibits in five separate transactions, receiving cash payments. Only a quarter of the amount received was deposited at the police station’s finance department.


Further allegations suggest that on 9 February 2024, the female officer returned to a local scrap metal dealer and sold additional copper without authorisation, receiving an undisclosed amount of cash. The money was never deposited at the SAPS finance department.


The case was transferred to the Limpopo Provincial Anti-Corruption Unit for further investigation, leading to the officers being charged with theft.
