The management and protection of all marine resources, which includes abalone and rock lobsters, falls within the ambit of the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (OAFF), as stipulated in the Marine Living Resources Act, 1998 (Act No 18 of 1998). The South African Police Service (SAPS), in close cooperation with DAFF, combats poaching by investigating individual poaching cases, as well as identified syndicates.
The National Integrated Strategy to Combat Wildlife Trafficking, is a draft strategy document, in which all wildlife trafficking, which includes abalone, is addressed. Rock lobster is not addressed by this strategy, as it does not feature on the "Threatened or Protected Species" list.

Rabotapi, Mr MW to ask the Minister of Police
(1) Whether his department has a sexual harassment and assault policy in place; if not, (a) why not and (b) by what date will his department have such a policy in place; if so, (i) how are reports investigated and (ii) what are the details of the consequence management and sanctions stipulated by the policy; (2) (a) what is the total number of incidents of sexual harassment and assault that have been reported in his department (i) in each of the past three financial years and (ii) since 1 April 2017, (b) what number of cases were (i) opened and concluded, (ii) withdrawn and (iii) remain open based on the incidents and (c) what sanctions were issued for each person who was found to have been guilty? •
Reply:
(1)(a)(b) Yes, the South African Police Service (SAPS) does have a Sexual Harassment Policy ln place. However, the SAPS does not have an assault policy. In terms of the SAPS Discipline Regulations, 2016, Regulation 5(3)(x), an employee will be guilty of a misconduct if he or she assaults, or threatens to assault any other employee. In terms of the SAPS Discipline Regulations, 2016, an employee will be guilty of misconduct if he or she commits an act of sexual harassment. In the SAPS Discipline Regulations, 2016, sexual harassment falls under serious misconduct, which must be dealt with, in terms of the "expeditious process", which allows for the immediate dismissal of a member.
(1)(b)(i) In terms of the current SAPS Discipline Regulations, 2016, reports of sexual harassment and assault are investigated by invoking the provisions of Regulation 8(1), which stipulates that a supervisor must complete an investigation into the allegations of misconduct, within 30 calendar days, or as soon as practically possible, thereafter. If the supervisor is satisfied that the alleged misconduct is of a serious nature and justifies the holding of a disciplinary hearing, he or she will refer the outcome of the investigation to the employer representative, within seven working days, to initiate a disciplinary enquiry. The employee must be informed of the alleged misconduct and pending investigation.

What is the total cost related to the relocation of (a) staff members and (b)(i) samples and (ii) equipment from the Forensic Science Laboratory in Amanzimtoti to laboratories in other provinces due to flood damage?
Reply:

Selfe, Mr J to ask the Minister of Police
Whether the investigation into CAS 793/09/2014, which was handed over to a certain person (name and details furnished) in 2014 after receipt of a forensic report in terms of the Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act, Act 12 of 2004, has been completed; if not, (a) why not and (b) by what date will it be completed; if so, on what date was the docket submitted to the National Prosecuting Authority for prosecution?
Reply:
(a)(b) The Honourable Member has, unfortunately, not provided sufficient information for this question to be answered. The Honourable Member is, therefore, requested to provide the name of the police station at which the case docket was registered.
14 February 2018 - NW66
Groenewald, Mr HB to ask the Minister of Police
(a) What are the names of the stations that have been excluded from the proposed Firearm Amnesty, (b) in which provinces are the specified stations and (c) why were the stations excluded?
Reply:
(a) The following three police stations are excluded from the proposed firearms amnesty.
- Isipingo.
- Bellville South.
- Kanyamazane.
(b) These police stations are situated in the following provinces respectively:
- Isipingo KwaZulu-Natal.
- Bellville South Western Cape.
- Kanyamazane Mpumalanga.
(c) These police stations have been selected, based on the following reasons:
Firstly, the following number of firearms have been reported lost/stolen from the Exhibit Management Stores (SAPS 13 Stores) of the respective police stations, during the period 1 April 2016 to 31 October 2017:
Isipingo Police Station - 31firearms.
Bellville South Police Station - 18 firearms.
Kanyamazane Police Station - three firearms.
The reported losses/theft of firearms from the SAPS 13 Stores at these police stations have been tabled as a high risk.
Secondly, the criminal investigations pertaining to the losses/theft of firearms at these SAPS 13 Stores, are still pending and the conclusion thereof needs to be examined, in order to implement preventative measures.
Thirdly, it is in the interest of the firearms amnesty that there must not be any doubt with persons, who wish to participate in the surrendering of firearms during the amnesty period, that such firearms will not be safely kept in the SAPS 13 Stores at police stations.
Fourthly, allowing firearms to be surrendered at the above identified three police stations, may negatively influence the firearms amnesty, which may have a detrimental effect on the success of the amnesty.
It is still the ultimate view and wish of the South African Police Service that the above three police stations must not be excluded from the firearms amnesty but that additional safety measures be implemented at these police stations by the respective provincial commissioners and that an extreme tightened monitoring and auditing system be adopted at these police stations such as daily inspections from the office of the Cluster Commander.

Bara, Mr M R to ask the Minister of Police
In view of the recent closure of the laboratory in KwaZulu-Natal due to flooding for the fourth time, what arrangements has he made regarding the transportation of all the firearms to be handed in during the proposed Firearm Amnesty period in 2018 to alternative laboratories in the country?
Reply:
The flooding occured in the Chemistry and Biology Sections, in the KwaZulu-Natal Forensic Science Laboratory and did not affect the Ballistic Section, which is a separate facility. Therefore, no impact was experienced, due to the flooding of the Ballistic Section (including the Integrated Ballistic Identification System). The Ballistic Section will, therefore, be able to receive and process all test specimens or firearms during the proposed Firearm Amnesty.
14 December 2017 - NW3956
Bara, Mr M R to ask the Minister of Police
How long will it take to (a) process, (b) test and (c) check the system for links of a single firearm handed in during the proposed Firearm Amnesty period in 2018?

(a)(b) and (c) The test firing will occur at station level, within one week of receiving the firearm, whereafter the fired specifimens will be submitted to the Forensic Science Laboratory. The loading and comparison searching on the Intergrated Ballistic Identification System and other testing, will occur within 30 days from receipt of the fired specimens.

America, Mr D to ask the Minister of Police
(1)What are the names of the Brigadier-Generals in the SA Police Service who failed to attain security clearance; (2) will they be dismissed from their position; if not, why not; if so, on what date?
Reply:
(1) and (2) There are two Major-Generals whose files were closed in 2016, without issuing the clearance certificates. Their files were closed because they had not submitted all the required documentation.
These Major-Generals are now required to re-apply, in terms of the new directive by the National Commissioner. The directive instructs all Generals and Brigadiers to submit their applications before the end of December 2017. Their names cannot yet be disclosed, considering that, together with all members of senior management, they have been afforded the opportunity to re-apply within the stipulated time frames.
In the interim, members of the Senior Management Service (SMS), are being dealt with in terms of Section 70 and 71 of the South African Police Service Act, which require them to take an oath of secrecy.
Furthermore, consistent with the requirements of the Minimum Information Security Standards (MISS) policy, the respective supervisors must, at the end of every financial year, furnish a certificate regarding the security conduct of persons who do not yet possess security clearance certificates.
The MISS policy states, amongst others, that “the screening authority will merely make a recommendation regarding the security competence of the person concerned, to the head of the requesting institution, and this should in no way be seen as a final testimonial, as far as the utilisation of the person is concerned”. The relevant legislation and the MISS do not provide for the dismissal of persons who fail to obtain security clearance certificates.
Taking the above into account, it is clear that each case will have to be considered on its own merit.

(2)(a)(b)(i)(ii)(iii)(aa) and (bb)
