MEC for Community Safety Sizakele Nkosi-Malobane on Tuesday welcomed the arrests, saying it would send a strong message to other officials that the province did not tolerate corruption.





"I applaud the South African Police Service for arresting these individuals and stopping them in their tracks to loot state coffers," Nkosi-Malobane said in a statement.





"This demonstrates our unwavering zeal to root out fraud and corruption, more especially in pursuit of restoring the integrity of our law enforcement agencies. We would not hesitate to act harshly to anyone who commits such crime."





The Hawks spokesperson Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi was not immediately available for comment but police are currently pursuing an eighth suspect who was not at work during the time of the arrests.
