More likely
In short, I doubt that this item is a sign of change.
More likely that she was short changing her sponsors in the party. The way this works is that the lowest ranks have to give bribes to their skippers, and whatever government official sponsored them for their job). in order to retain their job, this means they have to be corrupt themselves. The skippers have to give bribes to their sponsors and Inspectors, etc, and this carries on all the way to the top.Another fine, upstanding defender of law and order.

Lt Gen Bonang Christine Mgwenya, South Africa’s deputy national police commissioner – the most senior female officer in the land has been arrested for fraud, corruption and theft involving a mere R191-million* tender.
She was the keynote address the late Lt Col Kinnear's funeral.
(Charl Kinnear was leading the anti-gang unit in CTN.)
Now, how far and wide do you think the rot within the SAPS goes ?
The majority of these appointments are based on political connections versus true career, experienced police officers. This is the standard of senior leaders appointed within the SAPS - appointed strangely enough by the same party of which they're a member - then people wonder why SAPS is in the state it now finds itself.
Guess the only positive is that she was arrested along with some others, so does this mean things are maybe going to change, or as per history, just appoint another set of politically connected comrades who will do the same ?
Please don't give that question the dignity of a reply.
