Puleng Dimpane

Puleng Dimpane is the Chief Financial Officer of the South African Police Service (SAPS), responsible for overseeing its entire budget. Recently, she made headlines after testifying before parliament's ad hoc committee about the disbandment of the political killings task team by suspended police minister Senzo Mchunu. Dimpane clarified that Mchunu did not consult her regarding the budget constraints he cited for the disbandment, and she expressed her surprise at her information note being used out of context to support the minister's decision. With a background in financial management, Dimpane has been vocal about the need for a permanent structure to address ongoing issues related to political killings in KwaZulu-Natal.
