WESTERN CAPE. – Lt.Col. Malcolm Pojie has retired after more than 40 years of service in the police. Pojie, who was well known over many years as a police spokesperson in the Western Cape, began his career on 14 May 1986 in Stellenbosch.

Pojie was transferred to George later that same year. He moved into communications work in 1998 and joined the provincial media centre as a spokesperson in 2006. On 1 November 2022 he was promoted to lieutenant-colonel and headed the Western Cape media centre. He was later transferred to the Garden Route District, where he concluded his career.

According to AO Christopher Spies, police spokesperson in the Western Cape, Maj.Gen. Phumzile Cetyana, district commissioner of the Garden Route District, paid tribute to Pojie during a farewell ceremony at the George district's operational centre earlier today and thanked him for his contribution. The Western Cape police management expressed their gratitude for Pojie's contribution and wished him a prosperous retirement.

Pojie said it was a privilege to serve the organisation and the country. He also thanked his colleagues and commanders for their support, mentorship and guidance throughout his career.
