The Freedom Front Plus says the 37% increase in incidents of reported police brutality and criminality is unacceptable.
FFPlus MP, Pieter Groenewald, was commenting on a report by the Independent Police Investigative Directorate, tabled in parliament this week.
He says Police Minister, Nathi Mthetwa, must explain and inform the public as to what he is going to do to stop this scourge.
Groenewald says the fact that rapes in police custody had increased from 40 to 168 incidents in the last financial year is proof of weak action against criminality within the Police force.
He says the minister is paying lip-service to the public when he says that strong action will be taken against members of the Police who are found guilty of misconduct.
