(1)

Four members are currently working at the Mail Centre, at the OR Tambo International Airport. The Mail Centre operates from 07:30 to 16:00, from Monday to Friday and is, therefore, not operational on a 24-hour shift basis.

(2)(a)(b)

The Component: Organisational Development, is currently revising the structure of the South African Police Service (SAPS), at the OR Tambo International Airport. Once a revised structure has been approved, the SAPS Management will revisit the deployment at the Mail Centre and other environments, to enhance law enforcement at the airport.
