Question NW19 to the Minister of Police

Majozi, Ms Z to ask the Minister of Police

(a) How often does the SA Police Service (SAPS) evaluate the working conditions of critical equipment needed for policing, (b) has the SAPS identified any specific areas across all provinces where the critical equipment has been identified as a challenge and (c) how the SAPS intervened, considering reports that some police stations have to operate without critical equipment such as radios, due to radio systems being outdated and/or on the blink of collapse, leaving police officers to rely on personal cellphones to communicate?
