Budget vote by Charles Nqakula, MP, Minister of Safety & Security, Vote 23: Independent Complaints Directorate, Vote 24: Safety and Security, National Assembly
INTRODUCTION
Madam Speaker
Honourable Members of the Extended
Parliamentary Committee
One of the significant events the world will commemorate this year is the defeat, sixty years ago, of Hitler's Germany, to save the world from the dangerous chauvinism of Nazism.
It was during the month of April that the final assault against Hitler was mounted, whereupon the Nazi leader committed suicide on April 30 when he realised his war machine was facing defeat and he the prospect of capture and prosecution.
The importance of the victory against Hitler was the successful mobilisation of human morality and courage worldwide, to fight against an enemy that sought to undermine that very morality and the cause of peace and stability.
The defeat of Nazi Germany, of course, did not mean the world had been made permanently free and safe. As we speak, there are still many corners of the world where there is no freedom, democracy, peace, justice and prosperity.
It is important, however, to understand that crime, especially serious and violent crime, threatens our value systems including the sanctity of life and all the freedoms that define our democratic order. As a nation, peace-loving and law-abiding citizens, we need to inspan our collective wisdom and might to fight crime to consolidate our democratic gains and advance the cause for a better life for all our people. The police are committed to double their effort to create better working relations with the people through partnerships and other mutual arrangements.
We should say over and over again that the democracy that South Africans enjoy today is the best vehicle for the creation of conditions of peace and stability in our motherland.
The South African Police Service is among the organs of state that are key to the defence and consolidation of our democratic order. They are, in the circumstances, committed to the principle that never again shall they obey instructions that are intended for political subjugation and abuse in the furtherance of the political ambitions of parties and individuals as happened under apartheid.
CRIME REDUCTION
In the next five years the SAPS will reduce priority crimes, especially contact crimes by between 7 and 10 percent. Current trends indicate already that most contact crimes, except sexual offences, are going down. The police are committed to do everything in their power to address all instances of sexual abuse against women and children, especially the girl child.
Serious crime levels in South Africa continue to drop or stabilise. A comparative study of the past ten years indicates that of the 20 categories of crime, nine have decreased, eight have stabilised and three have increased.
Contact crimes over the ten year period show decreases in murder, rape and attempted murder. There was a constant and significant decrease of more than 30% in murder between 1994 and 2004. Serious assault and other robbery have stabilised.
Carjacking, the hijacking of trucks, robbing of cash in transit and bank robbery have also decreased by more than 30% over the 10 year period.
These decreases have not encouraged laxity among the police. On the contrary, the resolve to prevent and combat crime has been strengthened and new tactics have been adopted further to reduce crime in our country.
CRIME PREVENTION
During the current financial year, our main thrust is going to be crime prevention; to stop, in a manner of speaking, crime from happening and to save as many people as possible from sexual abuse, including rape, serious assault and murder.
Firearms are the main weapons of choice in the commission of serious and violent crimes in South Africa. We want to reduce those types of crime by between 7 and 10 percent over the next five years. We are going to employ various tactics to implement that strategy, including mounting raids that will be intelligence-driven in many parts of our country.
One of the tools we used recently to curb the circulation of illegal firearms was an amnesty for those who would hand in their illegal weapons. The amnesty was in place between 1 January and 31 March.
During that period the police collected a total of 48 755 firearms and 912 613 rounds of ammunition. Just over half of those firearms (51,5%) were illegal weapons. The great bulk (16 412) came from people who took advantage of the amnesty, while 8 745 were confiscated by the police in their normal investigative work.
The remaining 23 598 firearms were handed in by legal owners who did not want to continue to keep the weapons. The amnesty has been extended from 1st April to 30th June.
Some of the firearms that have been circulating illegally in South Africa include weapons that were lost by legal owners or were stolen from them.
Between February 2000 and February this year, 105 722 legal firearms were lost or stolen. That means that approximately 20 000 weapons a year are added to the illegal pool of firearms that circulate in our country.
All that we are asking for is that those who possess licensed firearms should exercise responsible ownership and ensure that their legal firearms do not, through any carelessness, boost the stocks of illegal guns.
CRIME INTELLIGENCE
It is part of the international experience that the intelligence arm of the police lays the foundation for better investigative work. Consequently, many of the crucial breakthroughs in investigations are intelligence driven.
The same has been our experience in South Africa. The past 10 years has seen remarkable transformation in our crime intelligence division that has helped to project the division as one of the best in the world in the project significantly to reduce crime levels and ensuring national security.
Our successes in dealing with priority, serious and violent crimes, and terrorism in our country are proof of this.
In order to build on these successes our crime intelligence capacity will be increased substantially and enhanced over the next three to five years. The human resources involved as part of the increase will be at least 5 000.
BORDER CONTROL
The first phase of the SANDF/SAPS borderline exit/entry plan commenced in September last year when police members were deployed on the border with Namibia and Botswana. This was followed by deployments on the Botswana border with the Limpopo and North West Provinces. During the current Financial Year the following will continue to receive priority attention:
* The Western Cape sea borderline to deal with transnational crime as well as crimes directed against our marine resources, to be handled as a joint project with Marine and Coastal Management and the South African Navy.
* The air borders between South Africa, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Swaziland, focusing on small airfields and air strips in co-operation with the civil Aviation Authority and the South African Air Force, and
* The borderline between South Africa and Lesotho where containers have been placed and members deployed for observation purposes.
* Borderline operations have started on the border between Lesotho and the Free State.
PROTECTION & SECURITY
The Protection and Security Division of the SAPS has started its work which is designed to introduce focused capacity within the environments of Railway Policing, Ports of Entry and the Government Security Regulator.
The Commanders of the pilot sites will be fully operational during this Financial Year. After completing their field training in June, 600 members will be deployed at Johannesburg International Airport and 400 at the Metro Rail System in Cape Town.
Phase one of the pilot project for the protection and security of Durban Harbour will commence with the recruitment of 800 members.
All high courts in the RSA have been assessed with regards to their physical security. Proposals have been forwarded to the Department of Justice to take the matter forward.
The process to transfer to SAPS excess SANDF personnel to do police work commenced last year. Two hundred and six members have already completed their conversion training. They will be part of the Protection and Security Service.
COMMANDOS & RESERVISTS
The police’s drive further to increase their capacity is going to be enhanced by the recruitment of commandos whose units are being phased out in keeping with government policy. Many of these will have the opportunity to be recruited into the revised SA Police Service reservist system. They will be recruited to perform the following functions:
* Functional policing at our police stations;
* Support services;
* Specialised functional policing as part of the Area Crime Combating Units and the Detective Services, and
* Rural and Urban Safety.
The reservists, therefore, will be deployed as part of the programme to reduce crime in the 169 priority areas as well as implement specific operational concepts such as rural protection.
It is envisaged that those commando members who are interested to join the SA Police Service reservist system will be deployed as part of decentralised Area Combating Units at station level, sector policing, crime scene first responders, intervention units, reaction forces and for the purpose of analysing crime at sector level. Between 700 and 800 members have indicated their interest to become part of the reservist system.
It is envisaged that reservists will in future be called up for duty on a rotational basis to perform paid services for a specific period each year.
PEACEKEEPING
The police are part of the South African contingent helping the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo to prepare for their general election this year. They are also a key component of the civilian police structure that has been built into the programme of the African Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS) for peacekeeping en route to permanent peace in that country.
The AMIS civilian police are comprised of members of police services from 16 countries on the Continent. The AU asked South Africa to lead the multi-national police operation. Director Anand Pillay was appointed to command the operation. South Africa will eventually contribute 100 officers to the Mission. At the moment 18 members are already in Darfur. The others will follow in due course.
The South African Police Service will assist the Sudanese Police, among other things by:
* Facilitating communication between them and the local communities, and
* Providing the technical assistance that has been requested by the Government of Sudan and the Police Authorities, on the basis of an approach by the Inspector-General of the Sudanese Police to the National Commissioner of the SA Police Service.
Commissioner Selebi, the President of Interpol, is mobilising all available skills in the Interpol community to ensure the swift transformation of the Sudanese Police.
Meanwhile in order to build close relations between communities and the local police, AMIS has been establishing Community Police Forums, based on the South African experience. The SA Police Service members in Darfur have also initiated various youth programmes, including sports programmes as part of the AMIS community policing endeavours.
TRAINING & SKILLING
Ten years into democracy has ushered in significant changes in the way the police are trained.
The old traditional training methodology has been replaced by a policing thrust that is oriented towards creative problem solving. Members are acquainted with the reality they will face in their policing on the ground on the basis of simulated exercises. Specific case studies are part of the training to provide members with valuable exposure to complex situations.
The new training programme includes revised selection processes that ensure that only resilient and physically fit people are recruited into the service.
GENDER MATTERS
Significant strides have been made by SAPS to address the matter of gender balance in the service. The current contingent of female members stands at 28,6%. This is the highest representation of females in any police service in the world. The country that occupies second spot behind us has only 16% females in its entire police service. Additionally, 17% of our Senior Management Service is female.
The commendable figure of female representivity in the police service is not construed by our police as the ceiling of involvement by women in SAPS and certainly not as the optimum point for their progression within the service. Ways and means are going to be found for more women to be absorbed into the service and empowered for service delivery.
RECRUITMENT
Over the last few years large numbers of people have joined SAPS. This year will see an increased intake of 11 000 police trainees. They will be utilised for sector policing, borderline control, enhanced crime intelligence and investigations.
POLICE KILLINGS
We want to reiterate our strong condemnation regarding the killing by criminals of our police officials. We want to assert that no criminal will kill any of our policemen and women and hope to get away with it. Those crimes will be pursued with extraordinary zeal and the perpetrators will be brought to book to face the full might of the law.
I want to repeat that police officials whose lives are threatened have the right to defend themselves even if it means using their service firearms to do this. They have a responsibility, also, to defend innocent citizens whose lives are at risk from criminals who would want to murder them. In such instances, the police will have a right to use their weapons to save people’s lives.
I would like, at this point, and on behalf of South Africa’s law-abiding citizens, to dip our banner of honour to all those members who have fallen in the line of duty and wish to express appreciation to the bereaved families for allowing their kith and kin to be part of the SAPS to serve and protect our people.
We will hold our Annual Commemoration Day for the fallen colleagues on 15 May 2005.
CONDITIONS OF SERVICE
In our endeavour to define better working conditions for our members we have adopted new performance-based improvements for functional police officials at the lower to middle levels of the police structure.
The new arrangement will take effect from the end of this month, with salary increases that will extend over the next three years. The increases will be over and above the normal annual increase offered to all public servants.
PHYSICAL RESOURCES
Police communications in Gauteng will be improved tremendously with the installation of the Digital Radio Communication Trunking System. The radio system will be completed and fully functional by December next year.
Other projects worth mentioning are:
* The procurement of more vehicles to enhance the fleet of the SAPS
* The building of new police stations and the refurbishment of existing ones that encompass Victim Empowerment sections, identity parade rooms and entrances for people with disabilities.
Seven new police stations were completed during the last Financial Year, while 41 existing ones were renovated and upgrade. Construction work is currently under way to build 23 more stations. Twelve of those will be completed during the current Financial Year.
ICD & SECRETARIAT
The Independent Complaints Directorate (ICD) and the National Secretariat for Safety and Security are going to be consolidated to enable them to discharge their functions in the best possible ways.
There have been instances in the past when the two structures confused their roles and mandates.
The ICD will attend only to instances of misconduct and misdemeanours by the police. This will include investigations into cases of alleged police brutality, deaths in custody and corruption. While this has been the core function of the ICD, they have also investigated matters related to policy compliance.
The monitoring of policy implementation and assistance to the Minister for Safety and Security to review policy and produce the framework for new legislation is the work of the Secretariat. However, they also have veered now and again into the domain of the ICD and have investigated cases of police misconduct.
This matter is going to be addressed and the relevant tasks will be aligned in keeping with legislation and regulations.
The ICD, therefore, will be helped to improve its internal capacity to investigate complaints and raise the level of its administrative ability to implement obligatory legislation and strengthen their corporate governance.
One of the ICD areas of focus will be the monitoring of the operations of the newly-formed Anti-Corruption Command (ACC).
The Secretariat has been looking at the practices impacting on promotions in the police service, allocation of resources and disciplinary questions affecting all SAPS members to ensure an equitable system was in place to service all members.
Some of the cases they completed were submitted to the National Commissioner for intervention and those affected detrimentally by negative processes were suitably compensated.
