EMPD Spokesperson Reinstated, Drops Bombshell at Madlanga Commission
Johannesburg - Kelebogile Thepa has been officially reinstated as the spokesperson for the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality Police Department (EMPD). This announcement comes amidst her compelling testimony before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry, which is currently investigating allegations of widespread corruption within the criminal justice system.
Thepa's appearance before the commission has already generated significant buzz, particularly regarding her statements about the EMPD's media unit. According to her testimony, the unit faced considerable backlash from city management after handling inquiries related to Matlala Blue Light in a transparent and forthright manner.
