2 hrs agoFresh concerns have emerged over the leadership of Tshwane Metro Police Chief Commissioner Yolande Faro, as her testimony before the Madlanga Commission casts a spotlight on troubling governance gaps within the department. At the heart of the issue is a controversial service agreement involving El Shadai Security Services—one of the companies linked to alleged tender rigging in the City of Tshwane.
Faro revealed that the agreement was concluded while she was on leave, and that she only became aware of it after returning. This admission raised eyebrows, with commissioners questioning how such a significant deal could be finalized without the knowledge of the department’s head. The situation was described as a serious “red flag,” pointing to possible breakdowns in oversight and accountability.
The incident highlights deeper concerns about internal controls within the metro police. If key decisions can be made in the absence of top leadership, it raises questions about who truly holds authority and how procurement processes are monitored. For observers, the issue is not just about one contract—it signals potential systemic weaknesses that could enable misconduct.
As the inquiry continues, Faro’s leadership and the integrity of the department remain under intense scrutiny, with growing calls for transparency and stronger governance measures.
