Investigative journalism at its best!
Well done, Jessica Pitchford and the Special Assignment team, for sterling work in last night's exposé of corrupt cops in Johannesburg taking bribes from sex workers.

Film footage from hidden cameras showed policemen demanding thousands of rands worth of "spot fines" from apprehended prostitutes and their clients. It was aired on SABC3 last night and this morning the issue is making the main headlines in the daily papers.

I sincerely hope last night's programme sets in motion a process that eventually sees our police force rid of these rotten apples. If this can be achieved then a major battle will have been won in the war against crime. It would also be a demonstration of how noble a calling investigative journalism can be.
