Majozi, Ms Z to ask the Minister Police
What total number of requests for protection orders were (a) granted and (b) violated in the 2019-20 financial year?
Reply:
The South African Police Service (SAPS), is not in a position to provide the information on the granting of protection orders. This is a court process and falls within the mandate of the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development.
The number of protection orders, which were violated, in 2019/2020, per province, is reflected in the table below:
