Brigadier Dineo Mokwele (civilian irregularly appointed, SAPS Crime Intelligence Technical Support)

ordinary position at BMW
Brigadier Dineo Mokwele is a civilian whose irregular appointment to SAPS Crime Intelligence Technical Support drew scrutiny at the commission. Public commentary described her as a former cleaner at BMW, though her actual background and compensation were set for further examination. Testimony raised questions about whether her appointment circumvented proper vetting procedures: she reportedly lacked a PERSAL number and force number, had no commander to endorse her application, and could not register on the e-Vetting system as a civilian. While she received a letter confirming clearance, the process was challenged as irregular given her civilian status and alleged inability to follow standard application protocols.
