The South African Police Service (SAPS), is committed to provide a professional and empathetic service which will focus on the needs of victims of all sexual-related crimes, which are committed against women and children. The SAPS has a dual mandate in terms of addressing sexual-related crimes, which is as follows:

• Proactive: Conduct awareness programmes to educate and sensitise communities, as a preventative measure, to curb sexual-related crimes, as well as to collaborate with external stakeholders, such as the Department of Social Development, the Department of Higher Education and various non-profit organisations.
• Reactive: Investigate reported sexual related crimes, as guided by the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Act, 2007 (Act No 32 of 2007) and the Sexual Offences Act, 1957 (Act No 23 of 1957).

The proactive approach to the addressing of sexual-related offences, committed at institutions of higher learning, is one that requires specific interventions and the forging of partnerships, based on what would be the most appropriate manner of addressing causes and factors that contribute to the crimes committed. Examples of these interventions range from those that specifically target institutions, where these crimes have been reported, to general awareness-raising campaigns, aimed at all members of the public, regarding sexual offences.

In addition, as part of the general approach to addressing sexual-related offences, victims of sexual offences are encouraged to report these crimes, in order to enable thorough investigation, directed at ensuring the successful conviction of the perpetrator.

Examples of the proactive crime prevention approach, per Province, are indicated below:

PROVINCE	APPLICABLE INTERVENTIONS
Eastern Cape	Continuous awareness campaigns are conducted at universities. Several engagements have been held between the SAPS and university management. The Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit (FCS), conducted integrated campaigns with University Management and Student Representative Councils (SRCs). The Rhodes University implements its own sexual violence policy. Talk shows have been conducted by the SAPS at ocal radio stations. Engagements with social partners, who are able to address the social factors that lead to sexual violence, e.g. the Department of Social Development.
Free State	Implementation of the Youth Crime Prevention Framework, which is premised on establishing partnerships with appropriate organisations, including higher learning institutions, in order to address the risk factors of crime. The SAPS’s Free State Youth Ambassadors, conduct dialogues with students at higher learning institutions. The youth ambassadors are peers/young leaders, who are best placed to address issues that concern young people and to discourage criminal behaviour and encourage victims to report crimes.
KwaZulu-Natal	Awareness campaigns are held at learning institutions to sensitise learners on the prevention of abuse and on the reporting of abuse. The SAPS, various non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and other government departments, are instrumental in conducting such awareness campaigns. The discourse is not limited to abuse only, topics such as drug and alcohol abuse, which may be contributing factors, are also dealt with.
Limpopo	The conducting of monthly meetings with relevant stakeholders, such as the municipality, landlords of students living off-campus, school representatives and NGOs, in order to address factors that precipitate crime or contribute to the risks of sexual violence. On the basis of the analysis of the risk factors, advice is provided to landlords on security management. Community group patrols are conducted in the communities surrounding higher learning institutions. Patrols are also conducted in partnership with security guards, in and outside institutions. Crime awareness campaigns and safer school programmes are conducted. As part of sector policing, intelligence-led operations are conducted within communities that may impact on sexual offences.
Western Cape	Awareness programmes and strategies are in place which are aimed at combating gender-based violence, focusing on the community as a whole.
Gauteng	Every institution of higher learning is responsible for their own security. Therefore, the SAPS does not patrol the inside of these institutional premises. Not all students reside on the institution’s premises, but rent rooms/houses in the nearby vicinity. This means that they will either walk or commute to and from the institution. It leaves these students more vulnerable than those residing on the various premises. Station areas are divided into smaller sections, called sectors. According to National Instruction 3 of 2013, every police station must have a crime forum, in every sector. The attendees must represent those who reside and/or work within the sector. Students and institutions of higher learning do fall within a sector and are represented at the sector crime forum. Besides the sector crime forums, police stations also have a forum for security companies, where the different crimes affecting the station area, are discussed. The security managers, including those responsible for security at the higher learning institutions, form part of the security forum. Crime hotspots and the latest modus operandi, are discussed and crime prevention actions/strategies are planned. These meetings are held on a weekly or monthly basis. Crimes are also addressed at the higher learning institutions, via the student residence committees. The owners of commune premises owners are included in the security meetings and forums, in order to communicate with their residents and also to sharpen up the security on the premises were the students live. Pamphlets, reflecting the latest threats and safety tips, are regularly distributed to students on the premises and/or at entrance/exist gates. Social media, such as WhatsApp groups, specific to crime in and around the relevant area, is very popular and also very effective. Communication through the Community Policing Forums and Youth Desk/Youth Committees are utilised to send safety measures and look-out messages. At most police stations in the province, a Social Crime Prevention Co-ordinator has been appointed to coordinate such activities. The Province recently developed a plan to address crimes against women and children. The plan focuses on the following proactive objectives: address crime generators, social crime prevention initiatives and enhanced community awareness. The reactive objective addresses effective investigation and prosecution.
North West	Continuous awareness campaigns are conducted at the North West (NW) University, Potchefstroom, as well as the other NW University campus, in Mahikeng. The Province has also implemented the Youth Crime Prevention Framework, which is premised on partnerships with appropriate organisations, in order to address the risk factors of crime. Community and security patrols are conducted in the communities surrounding the institutions. Patrols are conducted in partnership with the Sector Commander. Awareness programmes and strategies, which are aimed at combating gender-based violence and focusing on the community as a whole, are in place. Locally based radio stations, as well as the campus radio station, are utilised to make students aware of their rights and safety, specifically in respect of sexual offences.
Northern Cape	To date, no incident has been reported from any higher institutions in the Province. However, the Provincial Crime Prevention Strategy, which was launched in 2013, addresses crimes against women and children. All governmental programmes are aligned to the Northern Cape Provincial Crime Prevention (NCPCP) Strategy, which is a guiding tool to all departments and NGOs, on how issues of gender-based violence, should be addressed.
Mpumalanga	The following programmes or strategies are in place in the Province: SABC radio slot during which the SAPS provides information on gender-based violence and sexual offences and reaches out to community, including female students at institutions of higher learning.

Please note that the President and Deputy President are protected by the Presidential Protection Service, and not the VIP Protection Service.

The members allocated to protect the President and Deputy President is called a protection package. The protection package consists of members with different protection tasks. The total numbers of members are allocated in terms of the risk category, which is determined by the risk profile of the VIP and varies in terms of the risks and threats involved.

The total number of members allocated to these VIPs will not be disclosed, as the disclosure of this information in itself can pose a serious risk to the effective protection of the President and Deputy President.

(2) There is no Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between any of the three Metro Police Departments (MPDs) and the South African Police Service (SAPS) in Gauteng.

There are three fully established MPDs in Gauteng, namely:

• Johannesburg MPD;
• Ekurhuleni MPD; and
• Tshwane MPD.

The SAPS has, however, established a National Forum for MPDs, which includes all of the MPDs in the Gauteng Province. The Forum, chaired by the Divisional Commissioner: Visible Policing on behalf of the Acting National Commissioner, convenes on a quarterly basis. The Forum is attended by the Provincial Commissioners in whose provinces MPDs have been established, namely Eastern Cape, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape.

The purpose of the Forum is to coordinate joint operations between the SAPS and the various MPDs, informed by the identified crime threats and tendencies in the relevant jurisdictions. Senior members of the various MPDs also attend Provincial Joint Intelligence and Operational Structure (Prov JOINTS), during which integrated operations are planned.

The Forum also coordinates the quality assurance of entry-level qualifications for MPD members, while additional, specific training is provided by the SAPS, including: drill and physical training, management and leadership training, crowd management training and general policing training (predominantly using a “train-the-trainer” approach).

The SAPS in Gauteng is also supported by the Gauteng Traffic Police who also mobilise the smaller Municipal Police Departments to provide a joint integrated approach to policing.

The Gauteng Law Enforcement Agencies Forum (GLEAF) was established in 2015. This forum coordinates and drives joint interventions between the SAPS and other law enforcement agencies. The forum accounts for all joint operations within Gauteng and guides the need for specific interventions at all levels. The forum is chaired and headed by the Deputy Provincial Commissioner Policing: Gauteng and consists of all SAPS Operational Heads and Police Chiefs.

The forum is an effective operational command structure that has yielded good results. The following priority committees were established:

• Bad Buildings;
• By-Law Management;
• Counterfeit Goods;
• Taxi Violence;
• Road Safety; and
• Illegal Mining.

The above-mentioned committees plan and execute joint, integrated operations, addressing specific problems and report monthly to the GLEAF on actions executed, successes and future interventions. Several discussions and planning sessions were held during 2016/17 and a MOU will be facilitated during May 2017, after considering the inputs received.

The SAPS and MPDs have, in partnership with the Member of the Executive Committee (MEC) for Community Safety, compiled the following strategies that drive the joint integrated approach to policing in Gauteng:

• The Gauteng Safety Strategy; and
• The Gauteng Integrated Policing Strategy.

The protection that is being provided to (name and details furnished) was informed by a thorough risk assessment, and is therefore warranted.

It needs be mentioned that the Acting National Commissioner provided the detail associated with the protection that is being provided, in person to the Portfolio Committee on Police (PCoP), during the South African Police Service’s (SAP’s) Budget Hearing with the PCoP on 3 May 2017.

• Directorships and partnerships;
• Remunerative work performed outside the SAPS;
• Consultancies and retainer-ships;

The disclosure of interests of all of the above-mentioned functionaries in respect of the periods under discussion were dealt with as contemplated in Regulation 12(1) of the South African Police Service Employment Regulations, 2008 and the provisions of Regulation 12(2) of such Regulations did not apply to any of them in respect of the periods under discussion.

Reply:

(a) The full names of the individuals who were appointed are:

• Denver Johann Hattingh;
• Frank Boycie Saunders; and
• Kholekile Goodwill Nonkewuse.

(b) The position each specified individual was appointed to is:

• Lieutenant Colonel: Events Management
• Colonel: Station Commander, Emanguzi, Kwa-Zulu Natal; and
• Sergeant: Corporate Communication and Liaison, Eastern Cape.

(c) The qualifications of each individual are:

• Hattingh: Grade Twelve (12) Certificate;
• Saunders: Grade Twelve (12) Certificate, almost completed Bachelor of Policing Practice; and
• Nonkewuse: Grade Twelve (12) Certificate and Certificate in Sound Engineering.

(d) The exceptional circumstances that warranted deviations were:

• Hattingh: The officer served a period of more than 11 years in his previous rank. He has extensive experience within Corporate Communication and Liaison, especially in Events Management and he played an integral role in the organising and successful hosting of National Events such as the National Excellence Awards Event, POLMUSCA etc.
• Saunders: Following issues raised by the community of Emanguzi to the President, the post of Station Commander: Emanguzi was upgraded, and a resolution was taken to fast track the appointment of a permanent Station Commander and to increase members to do policing in the Emanguzi-area in order to meet the challenges that existed and to stabilize policing in such area; and
• Nonkewuse: The member, being a member of the Service for more than 9 years and holding the rank of Constable was inter alia responsible for Community Outreach Projects, and took it upon himself to train and manage the Provincial Choir. The choir became involved in Project Harmony which involves outreach events to support crime prevention messages through music. Under his leadership the Eastern Cape Choir became national champions and also won several external competitions, and built a sound relationship with the Department of Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture, as well as the Department of Social Development whereby the choir is supporting an old age home through music concerts.

(e) The deviation was in the interest of the Service because:

• Hattingh: A vacant funded post existed at Events Management, and the officer has been performing such duties with exemption. Numerous praises after successfully hosting such events were directly attributed to the officer’s involvement.
• Saunders: Colonel Saunders was identified by the Provincial Commissioner Kwa-Zulu Natal as he possessed extensive skills in managing operational methods and intelligence driven means in curbing the scourge of crime that affects the community in the Emanguzi area;
• Nonkewuse: The promotion of Sergeant Nonkeuse was strongly recommended by the Provincial Commissioner: Eastern Cape based on the member’s leadership-abilities and to retain his rare skills in the SAPS as he was offered employment by various other stakeholders, which would have resulted in the SAPS losing an asset, and would have had a negative impact on the Service.

(f) Yes, in every affected case, the Acting National Commissioner recorded the reasons in writing as required by section 45(9) of the specified regulations.

(1)(a) Long Range Acoustic Devices (LRADs) are, however, used as a non-lethal operational option by trained members of Public Order Policing (POP).

The device provides exceptional clarity and is used for short and long range communication with individuals and large crowds to easily establish standoff zones, inform, direct and prevent misunderstandings, peacefully resolve dangerous situations and to save the lives of both the public and law enforcement members during elevated risk operations. It offers a less physical option to kinetic measures such as tear gas, rubber bullets, pepper spray, tasers and flash grenades.

The following regulations and standards guide the use of the Long Range Acoustic Devices (LRAD) in South Africa:

• The Occupational Health and Safety Act, 1993 (Act No 85 of 1993);
• Regulation of Gatherings Act, 1993 (Act No 205 of 1993);
• Bill of Rights in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 (Act No 108 of 1996);
• South African National Standards (SANS) 10103:2004 The Measurement and Rating of Environmental Noise with respect to Land Use, Health, Annoyance and Speech Communication;
• Hearing Conservation Regulations, promulgated under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, 1993 (Act No 85 of 1993);
• The South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) 083: 1996 Measurement and Assessment of Occupational Noise. (SANS 10083:2013 Edition 5.2); and
• SANS10083:2013 “SABS 083” The South African Bureau of Standards’ Code of Practice for the Measurement and Assessment of Occupational Noise for Hearing Conservation Purposes, SABS 083.

The device was tested by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), which confirmed that the device is suitable for its intended use.

(a) A consolidated, uniform approach to e-government is being developed by the Department of Telecommunication and Postal Services (DTPS). It would be prudent to address the question based on an understanding that the following qualities form the basis for e-government services:

• Focusing on efficiency gains in service delivery processes;
• Making government services more accessible to communities; and
• Improving inter-departmental interaction to ensure a streamlined service to the community.

The following projects will serve, inter alia, to demonstrate that e-government services are tangible and form an integral part of almost each and every corporate system that is in use in the South African Police Service (SAPS).

The Network Upgrade Project is a multi-year, multi-million rand project to modernise the network infrastructure at all SAPS offices, focusing on police stations as the priority.

The modernised network results in faster computing time, thereby reducing the time the community members are required to spend in a Community Service Centre (CSC), while information is being captured on corporate systems.

The modernised network enables modernisation of systems such as the Investigation Case Docket Management System (ICDMS) and the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS).

With higher capacities, the systems can be enhanced to do more, work faster and to exchange and/or verify information, even between government departments, for example the verification of citizen data between SAPS and the Department of Home Affairs. This is an e-government service that benefits citizens indirectly.

Corporate Systems are being developed, enhanced and maintained, by the State Information Technology Agency (SITA), on a daily basis. These systems all support the SAPS in day-to-day operations, ranging from crime administration systems, crime intelligence systems and corporate support systems. All these systems aim to support the qualities as mentioned above.

Below is a list of e-government services being rendered, but not having been specified as e-government services. The list is not an exhaustive list, but provides examples of e-government services which are integral to the day-to-day operations of the Division: Technology Management Services (TMS).

• The ICDMS administrative and investigative modules will ultimately lead to a paperless process where the case docket will be sent between departments in electronic format. This e-government service will lead to faster processing times, which should contribute to quicker resolution of cases.

• The SAPS webpage (www.saps.gov.za) currently has an e-government service where a citizen can enquire online about the status of their application for a Clearance Certificate. This is automated and the processing time has improved, as SAPS members do not spend their time answering enquiries, but rather spend it on executing the processes related to the Clearance Certificates.
• The e-Vetting system that is being utilised by SAPS internally, shortened the processing time to issue security clearances to SAPS members by Crime Intelligence, as everything is done online and not via a 10-page document.

• The Enhanced Firearm Registration System (EFRS) also promotes e-government services between SAPS and manufacturers and dealers of firearms. This ensures that the integrity of firearm information is reliable, as information is exchanged electronically.

• The implementation of the Central Supplier Database (CSD) reduces corruption as it ensures that when orders are issued to suppliers, ghost or shell companies are not used fraudulently as the requirements to be registered on the CSD are stringent. This enables faster payment to suppliers subsequent to goods and services having been rendered and minimises long payment cycles from government.

• Inter-departmental integrations are being managed through the Integrated Justice System (IJS) Board, where information exchange (between departments) is promoted using the Service Integration Business Architecture (SiBUS). This is an inter-departmental service which should eliminate duplication and therefore make processes more efficient in all relevant departments.

Most projects undertaken aim to address the qualities stated above. It is therefore not possible to isolate a cost factor associated purely with e-government services. SAPS corporate systems are being updated and enhanced on a daily basis, based on user requirements, as well as inter-departmental interfacing requirements. These services are rendered through the Service Level Agreements (SLA’s) between SAPS and SITA. The value of the Managed Applications SLA with SITA for 2016/2017, was R366 million. This includes all SAPS corporate systems, maintenance and support, as well as licensing costs for third-party software being utilised by SAPS.

(b) The budgeted cost for the Managed Applications SLA with SITA for 2017/2018 is R417 000 000, subject to final agreement between SAPS and SITA.
