Lieutenant-General Dimpane

current acting National Commissioner

Lieutenant-General Dimpane is a senior South African Police Service (SAPS) officer who served as Deputy National Commissioner for Corporate Services and, at times, as acting National Commissioner. In her capacity as Chief Financial Officer, she was drawn into the Madlanga Commission’s inquiry into the disbandment of the Provincial KwaZulu-Natal Task Team (PKTT), facing questions about her role in the unit’s fate. Testimony described her as having recommended reducing a requested budget allocation to 20 million, and she was accused of advocating for the team’s disbandment—a characterisation she rejected, insisting she had instead called for a work-study investigation into making the unit permanent. She also submitted a formal statement to the Commission, detailing SAPS deployments and operations over multiple financial years, and maintained that fund-allocation discussions were solely between herself and the National Commissioner.
