Asset Property Protection Service

The Commissioner Bolhuis was informed about a report intended to facilitate the transition of the Asset Property Protection Service (APPS) from the City Manager's Office to the Tshwane Metro Police Department, which report was provided by Paledi Marota, received nine months late on 10 April 2025.

“The Chief of Police, Yolande Faro, testified that when she received an instruction that there has to be a transition of the APPS from the city manager's office to the TMPD's office, that she tasked you to oversee that process... she testified that she received this report, unfortunately, somehow nine months later, and this report came from a lady called Paledi Marota... The correct date would have been the 10th of April 2025... And lastly, on that score, you would have, at least at that stage, when this report came to your knowledge, you would have ceased acting or at least being a caretaker of the SP... That is correct. I already provided a full handover in writing in the month of March to the newly appointed Deputy Chief Spies.”
