SAPS has been allocated R127 billion for the 2026/2027 financial year.
"We acknowledge that the SAPS like other public institutions, particularly in its procurement systems, is bedevilled by systemic corruption. Those involved, must and are being held accountable," he said.
Cachalia noted that recent arrests and criminal charges against senior police officers are the result of investigations that predate the Madlanga Commission.
He said the work of the Madlanga Commission is assisting their endeavours to improve accountability in policing.
"The SAPS has established a dedicated Task Team to investigate referrals arising out of the Madlanga Commission. The Task Team is making progress. Arrests will continue, as we recently saw with Brown Mogotsi. While we wait for the final recommendations of the Madlanga Commission, we will be taking action to implement systemic reforms,"Cachalia said.
