(a)(i)(ii)There were four members on duty In the Community Service Centre (CSC), at the Elandslaagte Police Station, on 5 May 2018, at 19:00. The names and ranks are as follows:

~ Constable NS Sithole.

~ Constable PN Mazibuko.

~ Constable SP Ngcobo.

(b) The gate was closed, due to the attack on police that had taken place at the Elandslaagte Police Station, on 10 November 2017, during which a police official was shot. However, there Is a bell at the gate for the community to use at night when the gate is closed.

When the farm worker went to report the incident at the Elandslaagte Police Station, he was not able to press the bell because he had been handcuffed by the suspects, who had robbed and assaulted him. He did not shout for help and the South African Police Service (SAPS) members In the CSC were not aware of him standing at the gate. He then contacted a friend, who came and rang the bell. The farm worker was then assisted by the SAPS.

(1)(a) It needs be mentioned, that the Umhlali Police Station Is not a devolved police station and as ·a result, the South African Police Service Is reliant on the Department of Public Works for all minor and major repairs.

The police station's yard is not regularly maintained, as the grounds man that worked at the police station, passed away and the post has not yet been filled.

The glass door at the Community Service Centre (CSC) entrance Is shattered.

However, the Supply Chain Management (SCM) Commander, is currently looking for alternatives with which to replace the glass door. The roof of the CSC leaks when it rains.

There is a shortage of space for the storage of case dockets and other official documents. Currently, a detention cell is used to store case dockets.

The detention cells at the police station are in a poor condition. Rain water seeps through the roof.
