This following the arrest of a 59-year-old captain and two warrant officers aged 39 and 43 in Durban on Monday.


It's alleged the three - who are from the National Intervention Unit - went to a business in Redhill where they found undocumented workers.


They apparently solicited a bribe from the employer in exchange for him not being arrested. 


The business owner is said to have handed over some cash to the officers - but this was apparently not enough for them.

Officials say then they drove the man to a bank so he can withdraw more money. 


The businessman alerted the bank manager who then called police and a case was opened.


The three cops are due in the dock in a Durban court on Tuesday.


Commissioner Jula has commended the arrests - saying it's only a matter of time before rogue officers are put behind bars.
