A IabOUr intensiVe and time consuming manual exercise, will be necessary in obtaining this information, thereby necessitating the redeployment of personnel, to gather the required information. This exercise may be to the detriment of essential duties or service to the community, since members will have to be withdrawn from other duties, to be specially allocated to peruse dockets and registers.
The information can only be obtained by the physical perusal of archived files, in order to establish case reference numbers of case dockets, relating to the Prevention and Combating of Corrupt ActiVities Act, 2004 (Act No. 12 of 2004). Correspondence will then have to be directed to all the relevant police stations, country-wide, in an effort to determine the required information of each case, thereby placing an extra burden on limited human and financial resources.
(a)(bb) To be responded to by the other entities, who report to the Minister of Police.

Marais, Mr S to ask the Minister of Police
With reference to two cases, CAS 259/10/2015 and 261/10/2015, registered at the Worcester Police Station, (a) what are the reasons that the two cases are delayed and not sent to the State prosecutor at the Worcester Magistrate Court, (b) why was the Western Cape Police Ombudsman not able to conclude on the cases subsequent to them being referred to him and (c) what is the usual time frame for such cases to be concluded and referred to the prosecuting authorities; (2) whether he has found that the delay is intentional; if not, why has there been a time delay of three years; if so, (a) what steps will his department take to speed up the investigations and (b) what consequences will the officials who are not dealing with the cases promptly suffer?
Reply:
(1)(a) The two (2) case dockets (Worcester CAS 259/10/2015 and 261/10/2015) were submitted to the Senior Public Prosecutor on several occasions and received back with guidance on further investigations to be conducted. The last date that the case dockets were received back was on 5 September 2018 and the Investigating Officer is busy dealing with instructions issued by the Senior Public Prosecutor.
(1)(b) The Ombudsman on Policing in the Western Cape reports to the Provincial Government and not to the South African Police Service. This office can therefore not respond to this question.
(1)(c) The complexity of these cases vastly differ from one to the other and therefore a standard acceptable timeframe cannot be determined.
(2) This office has found that the delay is not intentional. The case was nolle prosequi and was only re-opened by the police after the complainant approached the NPA seeking clarity.
(2)(a) Not applicable.

Reply:
(a) The total number of firearms that are currently registered in the Central Firearm Register (CFR), is 5 567 706.
(b)(i) to (v) The requested data is not available for the period, 1994 to 2002. Prior to 1994, South Africa was divided into different states, namely South Africa, Transkei, Bophuthatswana, Venda and Ciskei. All these territories had their own separate firearm registration systems. In South Africa, the firearm licencing process was the responsibility of the Department of Home Affairs (DHA), up until 1994.
After the assumption of the firearm licencing process, by the South African Police Service (SAPS), in 1994, a new system called the Firearm Register System, was introduced. However, information received from the DHA was in a form of a spreadsheet, called a "data dump" and there was no application linked to a specific firearm. Therefore, the current Enhanced Firearm Register System (EFRS), does not contain records for the period, 1994 to 2002.
(b)(vi) The total number of firearms that were registered in the CFR, as at 31 December 2004, was 3 237 987.
(b)(vii) The total number of firearms that were registered in the CFR, as at 31 December 2006, was 3 352 728.

Reply:
(1) The South African Police Service (SAPS) has entered into an agreement with Tracker Connect (Pty) Ltd. A Memorandum of Understanding was concluded between the two entities, as per reference 19/1/9/1/114 TR (13). The above agreement was compiled in accordance with the required prescripts.
(1)(a) The contract was concluded, on 15 February 2017.
(1)(b) The advantages for SAPS of working in partnership with Tracker Connect (Pty) Ltd, are the following:
The fast recovery of stolen and hijacked vehicles, which are fitted with a tracking device.
The arrest of criminals found at the scene of a crime, with stolen or hijacked vehicles, which improves the detection rate for stolen and/or hijacked vehicles.
(2) Tracker Connect (Pty) Ltd, renders the service free of charge to the SAPS, as part of the agreement.
(3) Tracker Connect (Pty) Ltd, as a partner in the combating of vehicle-related crime works jointly with the SAPS and has, in consultation with SAPS management, come up with an initiative called, "Tracker Connect/SAPS Awards".
The aim of the above initiative is to recognise SAPS members, who have gone the extra mile to assist during Tracker activations or deactivations on stolen and hijacked vehicles.
The recognition certificates are awarded to SAPS members, who are actively involved, when the Tracker device is activated and who respond promptly, in attending the scene of crime where stolen or hijacked vehicles are found. No incentives apply to SAPS members.
(4) Currently, Tracker Connect (Pty) Ltd is the only company that has entered into an agreement and signed the Memorandum of Understanding with SAPS.
Apart from Tracker, there seems to be no other company involved in this capacity. However, the invitation was extended to other companies with a vested interest in this capacity. The Bid Committee, at the Division: Supply Chain Management (SCM), after careful consideration of other factors, nominated Tracker Connect (Pty) Ltd, as the SAPS Private Partnership in this capacity.
(5) The Minister of Police will decide if he would like to make a statement, in this regard.

Vos, Mr J to ask the Minister of Police
With reference to the approved tender to replace the temporal and inadequate structure of the Cloetesville police station located in the industrial area outside Stellenbosch, what are the details of the (a) tender and (b) programme to replace the station, including (i) timeframes and the (ii) location earmarked for the new station?
Reply:
(a) A tender in this regard has not been approved. The South African Police Service (SAPS), is currently leasing the Cloetesvllle Police Station, through the National Department of Public Works (NDPW), from the Western Cape Provincial Government, on a lease that expired, on 2016-11-30. The NDPW informed the SAPS that the lease could only be extended, from 2016-12-01 to 2017-11-30. The SAPS was served with a notice to vacate the premises, because the Western Cape Provincial Government required the property for their infrastructure developments. The lease is currently dealt with, on a month to-month basis.
The SAPS has issued a needs assessment and a procurement instruction to the Cape Town Regional Office of the NDPW, on 2017-05-16, for the acquisition of alternative accommodation.
The conclusion of lease agreements for the SAPS, is undertaken by the NDPW, as the mandated institution. The Cape Town Regional Office of the NDPW has indicated that the procurement processes must still be followed.
The NDPW did not provide a date when the matter would be placed on an open tender for the acquisition of alternative office accommodation.
(b) The station is currently leased from the Western Cape Provincial Government and no plans have been communicated to the SAPS, which indicate proposals to replace the station.
(b)(i) By virtue of the dependency on the NDPW, for the conclusion of leases, the SAPS is not in a position to comment on the duration of the procurement processes that the NDPW will follow to conclude the new lease agreement for alternative accommodation, as requested.
(b)(ii)The SAPS has requested that the leased accommodation be procured centrally, within the precinct of the current Cloetesville Police Station. By virtue of the SAPS's dependency on the NDPW for the conclusion of leases, the SAPS is therefore, not in a position to comment on the location of the facility to be procured, up until such a time that the lease has been concluded by the NDPW.

(1)(c) An analysis is being conducted to determine which continuous training intervention is required, however, refresher training is available.
(2)(a) No, the South African Police Service (SAPS) training colleges do not offer the SASL to new recruits, as it is viewed as a support function, which is a scarce skill. Yes, the SAPS does offer the SASL to existing officers through accredited external service providers.
(2)(b) Currently, the Basic Police Development Learning Programme is fully capacitated and is not able to accommodate an additional competency.
(3)(a) None. The SASL training is not included in the Basic Police Development Learning Programme, which is presented to new recruits.

During workshops or meetings, sign language services are procured, as and when required, in order to accommodate people who have a hearing impairment.
(4)(b) National Instruction 2/2012, Victim Empowerment, states how people with special needs must be assisted.
