Delft police constable returns to duty amid alleged docket-sale case

On October 11, 2026, MP Nicolas Gotsell demanded answers from the South African Police Service after discovering that a Delft SAPS officer facing criminal charges had been allowed to return to duty at the same station where a docket was allegedly removed and sold to a known gangster. During an unannounced visit, Gotsell found Constable Dumisani Diko back on duty, working in the station’s charge office, raising concerns about the integrity of police records and staff safety. Some colleagues reportedly felt uncomfortable working alongside Diko due to his alleged connections with local gang figures.
