South Africa's top police officer, Fannie Masemola, has appeared in court in relation to a corruption scandal that has seen at least 12 other senior police officers arrested and charged by prosecutors.
Masemola, who remains in his position as head of the police, faces four counts of violating the Public Finance Management Act, a law that regulates the government's awarding of contracts, in relation to an allegedly corrupt 360 million-rand ($21 million) contract to provide health and well-being services to police officers.
