Cassim, Mr Y to ask the Minister of Police
(1) What are the relevant details of the shortage of (a) DNA primer kits, (b) sample holders, (c) chemicals and (d) other consumables necessary for DNA analysis at each forensic science laboratory administered by his department; (2) what number of Genetic Sample Processing System (GSPS) machines does his department own; (3) whether each GSPS machine is being utilised at full capacity; if not, why not; if so, what number of samples on average are processed in a week?
Reply:
(1)(a)(b)(c)(d)
a |
There is no shortage of DNA reagent kits, for analysing DNA samples. However, there is currently a shortage of DNA buccal sample collection kits, which are used to collect buccal samples from persons arrested and charged for schedule eight offences, in accordance with the DNA Act. |
b |
There are no shortages of sample holders. |
c |
There are no shortages of chemicals. |
d |
There are no shortages of other consumables, necessary for DNA analysis. |
(2) and (3) The Forensic Science Laboratory had one functional Genetic Sample Processing System (GSPS), which was installed in 2006, for DNA analysis in the Biology Section, Arcadia. The GSPS reached the end of its life cycle, several years ago and is no longer utilised. The GSPS equipment was decommissioned, due to old technology and unavailability of maintenance/service by service providers. The GSPS has been replaced with semi-automated DNA analysis equipment, to analyse crime scene and buccal samples. The semi-automated equipment is proving to be very effective and is significantly more cost effective than the GSPS.

Mokgalapa, Mr S to ask the Minister of Police
What (a) criteria and (b) factors are taken into account when deciding on rank promotions in the SA Police Service?
Reply:
Promotions in the South African Police Service (SAPS) are regulated by the SAPS Employment Regulations, 2008, in exceptional circumstances and under normal circumstances by the Promotion and Grade Progression Policy of the SAPS, as per Safety and Security Sectoral Bargaining Council Agreement, 3 of 2011. The criteria and factors taken into account when deciding on rank promotions in the SAPS, are as follows:
a) Criteria:
In terms of Regulation 45(9) of the SAPS Employment Regulations, 2008 the National Commissioner may promote an employee into a post without advertising the post and without following the selection process, if the National Commissioner is satisfied that the employee qualifies, in all respects for the post. There are exceptional circumstances that warrant a deviation from the said subregulation if such a deviation is in the interest of the SAPS and if the National Commissioner recorded the reasons for the deviation, in writing. The Promotion and Grade Progression Policy of the SAPS provides as follows:
REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADE PROGRESSION |
Constable to Sergeant A minimum of seven years service as member of the SAPS (Including periods of training on contract as trainee, periods of apprenticeship or learnership). |
From Sergeant to Warrant Officer A minimum of seven years uninterrupted service in the rank of Sergeant. |
From Warrant Officer Band B1 to Warrant Officer Band B2 A minimum of one year uninterrupted service in the Service on Band B1 and on notch five of Band B1 or a higher notch. |
REQUIREMENTS FOR POST PROMOTION |
From Constable to Sergeant At least an NQF 6 qualification and a minimum of two years uninterrupted service on the level of a Constable (including periods of training on contract as trainee, periods of apprenticeship or learnership); OR At least a minimum of four years uninterrupted service on the level of a Constable (including periods of training on contract as trainee, periods of apprenticeship or learnership). |
From Sergeant to Warrant Officer At least an NQF 6 qualification and a minimum of two years uninterrupted service on the level of a Sergeant; OR At least a minimum of four years uninterrupted service on the level of a Sergeant. |
From Warrant Officer to Lieutenant At least an NQF 6 qualification and a minimum of two years uninterrupted service on the level of a Warrant Officer; OR At least an NQF 4 qualification and a minimum of four years uninterrupted service on the level of a Warrant Officer. |
From Captain to Lieutenant Colonel At least an NQF 6 qualification and a minimum of two years uninterrupted service on the level of a Captain; OR At least an NQF 4 qualification and a minimum of four years uninterrupted service on the level of a Captain. |
From Lieutenant Colonel to Colonel At least an NQF 6 qualification and a minimum of two years uninterrupted service on the level of a Lieutenant Colonel; OR At least an NQF 4 qualification and a minimum of four years uninterrupted service on the level of a Lieutenant Colonel. |
b) Factors:
Grade Progression is based on the following principles:
- Availability of Funds;
- Recognition of Performance;
- Years of service on a Salary Level or Rank;
- Suitability; and
- Subject to the provisions above, the grade progression of members, who qualify for grade progression, must be effected within that financial year.
Post Promotions are based on the following principles:
- Availability of vacant funded posts; and
- Advertisement and selection process.
The selection of a candidate must be based on the candidate’s:
- Competence based on the inherent requirements of the job or the capacity to acquire, within a reasonable time, the ability to do the job;
- Prior learning, training and development;
- Experience gained in the field of the post;
- Compliance with representivity at the level that is applicable to the post (in terms of the guidelines provided by the office of the National Commissioner or the Employment Equity Plan of the relevant business unit);
- Record of pending criminal or disciplinary investigations, previous criminal convictions or valid disciplinary findings of misconduct against him or her; and
- Health, if good health is an inherent requirement of the post.
- Satisfactory performance (evidence of at least satisfactory performance);
- Years of service on a salary level or rank;
- Suitability; and
- The National Commissioner is under no obligation to fill an advertised post.
Notwithstanding the above, the National Commissioner may, for the purposes of improving effectiveness, service delivery or representivity, waive any requirement(s) for promotion, as set out in the Policy, in respect of any employee and promote such employee if he or she is satisfied that the employee is suitable for promotion.

The Medium Term Framework (MTEF) for the SAPS, regulates the enlistment targets of new entry level personnel per financial year. The SAPS has a growing establishment, with set targets in its Human Resource Plan, which accommodate the continual increase in the number of personnel. The SAPS is in the process of enlisting 3 800 new entry level Police Service Act personnel and 1 200 Public Service Act personnel, to ensure the achievement of 98% of the establishment target, by 31 March of each financial year. Some of the vacant posts, or gaps on higher levels, are reserved for the career progression of personnel members.
Promotion, grade progression, internal and external advertisement processes, will also be launched in every MTEF or financial year, to address the differences on higher salary levels and to ensure the effective maintenance of the establishment, per managerial cluster.
Phase one of the 2017/2018 financial year post promotion process, will commence in February 2018.
The Component: Organisational Development, has embarked on a process of rationalising some of the Head Office organisational structures, with the aim of escalating resources to the frontline services, in order to improve service delivery to the community.
c) It will cost the SAPS an amount of R1,793 billion, to fill the indicated vacancies. This is calculated for a full year and does not include benefits, such as housing allowance, service allowance, medical contributions, etc. as additional costs will be determined by the qualification criteria, as well as the employee’s circumstances.

The current backlog, which is 4.8% of on-hand case entries (exhibits) on-hand, is still below the 10% target, as reflected in the South African Police Service Annual Performance Plan 2017/2018.
(2)(a) The most pressing challenge experienced by the Division: Forensic Services, is that resources to support the implementation of the Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) Act, are not commensurate with the increased number of crime scenes and buccal samples that the South African Police Service (SAPS) is required to respond to.
The Biology Section, within the Forensic Science Division, is responsible for the analysis of these samples and the Forensic Database Management Section, is responsible for the loading of the forensic DNA profiles, onto the DNA database, as well as performing the comparative searches, to provide forensic DNA links.
The total number of additional examiners required in these two specific sections, to analyse the increased number of DNA samples and to conduct comparative searches on the DNA database, have not yet been appointed. There is also an insufficient number of administration personnel to receive, register and handle the increased number of submissions to the various SAPS forensic laboratories.
. The Biology Section is also experiencing challenges with the procurement process of specialised DNA equipment, which will provide preventative and corrective maintenance.
The current DNA system, the STRlab system, that is maintained by the State Information Technology Agency (SITA), is unstable and unsupporting of the optimal work load in finalising the case entries within the time frames.
The Chemistry Section is experiencing a significant increase in the submission of cases, particularly less serious cases. The KwaZulu-Natal Forensic Laboratory experiences challenges with flooding of the premises, which disrupts precise procedures, leading to backlogs.
The budget of the Division: Forensic Services, is not commensurate to the significant increase in exhibit material submitted for forensic analysis. In particular, inadequate funds are available for recurring costs, such as forensic consumables and buccal sample collection kits. The reduction in the allocated budget for the Division: Forensic Services, is expected to have a negative impact on service delivery, as well as the SAPS’s ability to reduce the backlog and to improve turnaround times.
(2)(b) The acting Divisional Commissioner: Forensic Services has requested an additional posts for 76 support staff and 58 posts for forensic analysts, on 29 May 2017, to address the implementation of the DNA Act by the Biology Section and the Forensic Database Management Section.
Currently, interns are employed to assist with the increased volume of exhibits and flexi-hour shifts have been implemented, where required.
The chemistry case load is distributed to other regions, which have the capacity to handle additional cases and an additional laboratory, in the Western Cape, is now functional and also analysing exhibits. Although the capacity at the Western Cape Forensic Laboratory increased, it remains inadequate to address the increasing work load. A pilot project, using new technology with flexi-hour shifts, has also been implemented at the Western Cape Forensic Laboratory, to improve the processing of the less serious cases.

Purdon, Mr RK to ask the Minister of Police
Whether the SA Police Service (SAPS) considers rhino poaching incidents as priority crimes; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details; (2) (a) what was the average response rate of SAPS to incidents of rhino poaching (i) in the (aa) 2014, (bb) 2015 and (cc) 2016 calendar years and (ii) since 1 January 2017 and (b) what number of arrests have been made in each case; (3) whether there are specialised SAPS units assigned to investigate rhino poaching; if not, why not; if so, (a) in which provinces and (b) what are the further relevant details in this regard?
Reply:
1. Yes, the South African Police Service (SAPS), considers rhino poaching to be a priority crime, due to the constant escalation of rhino poaching incidents, since 2010.
Wildlife trafficking as a form of transnational organised crime, has a negative impact on the economic development of the country and job creation, including the development of the country’s bio-diverse economy, which incorporates the tourism sector.
Wildlife trafficking is hampering the government’s ability to ensure socio-economic development, as organised crime syndicates and activities have become embedded in communities, across the country.
President Zuma declared rhino poaching to be a national security threat, in 2011. This led to the threat being attended to by the National Joint Operational Intelligence Structure (NATJOINTS), which is the operational arm of the Justice Crime Prevention and Security (JCPS) Cluster of Government.
The JOINTS established National and Provincial Priority Committees, in terms of the NATJOINTS Instruction, 3 of 2011. The purpose of this NATJOINTS Instruction, was to sensitise all provinces about this threat and coordinate the response, by establishing and activating National and Provincial Priority Committees to manage, implement and coordinate all joint integrated actions, as well as the efforts to curb rhino poaching and illegal hunting.
In 2012, the NATJOINTS initiated and conducted national interventions in the Kruger National Park, which was and still is affected significantly, by illegal rhino poaching. In support of provincial activities, Cabinet approved the Integrated Strategic Management Approach, to rhino poaching.
In April 2015, rhino poaching was declared a priority crime of the SAPS, by the Minister of Police. The Joint Operation Centre (JOC), was officially launched by President Zuma, in November 2015. It comprises of the following role-players: the SAPS, South African National Parks, the Department of Environmental Affairs, the South African National Defence Force, Ezemvelo, the South African Revenue Services (Customs) and the State Security Agency.
In 2014, the NATJOINTS initiated and developed the draft National Integrated Strategy to Combat Wildlife Trafficking (NISCWT), which is police-led and intelligence informed, with multi-agency support and has the following objectives:
- Improving law enforcement, supported by the whole of government and society, to effectively investigate, prosecute and adjudicate wildlife trafficking, as a form of transnational organised crime;
- Increasing the Government’s ability to detect, prevent and combat wildlife trafficking in South Africa and beyond; and
- Increasing national, regional and international law enforcement collaboration and cooperation in the combating of wildlife trafficking.
A five pillar operational plan was introduced to address the objectives, as contained in the NISCWT, which is currently implemented in the provinces most affected, through Operation Rhino, i.e. Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal and Limpopo. Operation Rhino is a multi-disciplinary, integrated operation, which is coordinated from the Mission Area Joint Operations Centre (MAJOC), in Skukuza, and comprises of three Tactical Joint Operations Centres (TacJOC`s), in Acornhoek, Hluhluwe and Phalaborwa, to address the five pillar operational plan.
The following is a breakdown of the five pillar operational plan:
Pillar 1: Intelligence gathering, coordination and analysis:
-
- This pillar is about information collection, analysis and coordination; and
- Intelligence structures provide intelligence for prevention, investigation and prosecution of wildlife trafficking-related crimes, within our borders, across our borders and internationally.
Pillar 2: Proactive approach:
-
- This involves the maximum deployment of rangers and visible policing officers inside and outside various parks; and
- The implementation of various community initiatives and programmes around mission areas neighbouring parks or game reserves.
Pillar 3: Combat approach:
-
- This pillar includes the conducting Vehicle Control Points (VCP), road blocks, way-lays and observations at strategic points. Intelligence-driven operations, suspect tracing, airborne support and a Canine Unit search and detection capability. A document on the NISCWT was drafted and presented to the JCPS Cluster, for approval.
Pillar 4: Reactive through detection:
-
- This comprises an investigative approach, which is focused on integrated crime scene management and specialised investigators, who are addressing local, national and transnational rhino-related organised crime and working with dedicated prosecutors.
Pillar 5: Communication and liaison:
-
- Pillar five includes publication through the media on successes including convictions;
- Continuous sensitising of communities, regarding the security aspects/dangers of illegal poaching;
- Engagement with various countries, in relation to rhino DNA sampling (e.g. Mozambique, Vietnam, Czech Republic); and
- Ongoing collaboration with Interpol with regard to operations and crime working groups, on environmental crimes.

Lotriet, Prof A to ask the Minister of Police
(1)With reference to his reply to question 1943 on 6 October 2016, what are the reasons that the Tembisa South Police Station only has 24 visible police officers to cover three sectors and the client service office; (2) how many members should ideally be on duty at the client service office at any given time?
Reply:
1. The 24 members perform only sector patrols and exclude personnel who work at the Community Service Centre (CSC).
2. The Theoretical Human Resource Requirement (THRR), which is based on the workload at the police station, indicates a requirement of 59 posts for the shift-related functions. The police station has a total of 51 members in this environment, against a granted number of 41 funded posts. It is the responsibility of the relief commander to post available members, in accordance with the required shift-related functions.

Madisha, Mr WM to ask the Minister of Police
By what date does the SA Police Service (SAPS) intend to put in place the rapid reaction capacity at cluster level, specifically for rural areas, as envisaged in the Rural Safety Strategy of the SAPS?
Reply:
The Clusters do not have a rapid reaction capacity. The reaction capacity towards all incidents is already in place and resorts at the police stations. The Cluster Commander can, at any time, mobilise inter-police stations reaction, when and where needed.
