The Congress of South African Trade Unions noted that former Police Commissioner, Jackie Selebi, has been found guilty of corruption.

COSATU was not in court to hear the judgement, has no privileged information on the merits of the case and does not know if Jackie Selebi will exercise his right to appeal or not. Nevertheless we believe that his conviction will send the correct signal to the powerful in society that no-one is above the law, and indeed that all are equal in the eyes of the law.

The conviction of such a high-profile and powerful personality will go a long way to communicate a message to all police personnel and all South Africans that crime and corruption do not pay.
