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.

(3)(a) Yes.

(3)(b) Protection was based on the threat and no additional protectors were allocated.

 

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.

1. The requested information is not readily available on the Investigation Case Docket Management System (ICDMS). As a result, a particular request must be made from the Division: Technology Management Services (TMS) to extract the information from the ICDMS via an ‘ad hoc’ request. The Division TMS has indicated, that seven working days are required to process requests of this nature. The information will be provided as soon as it is received by the Division: Detective Service.

(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.

(1)(a&b) According to actual deployment in terms of the Fixed Establishment, the total members deployed at Sebenza Police Station is 87, of which, 42 are Visible Policing members. A breakdown of these members is as follows:

• 26 members conduct patrols in the sectors (two shifts with six members and two shifts with seven members);
• Four Sector managers;
• Eight members deployed in the Community Service Centre (CSC);
• Two Firearm, Liquor and Second Hand Goods (FLASH) members;
• One Fleet Manager; and
• One Visible Policing support member.

(2)(a) The minimum requirements for the number of posts for visible policing at any police station is as follows:

Division Visible Policing has the following sub-sections and the minimum requirements will be discussed below:-

• CSC: Shift A, Shift B; Shift C; Shift D; (Personnel at CSC)
• Satellites & Contact Points;
• Sector Policing (Shift A, B, C & D)
• Custody Management; and
• Operational Support

Eighty per cent of the calculated theoretical number of posts is allocated for Visible Policing. Visible Policing has:

• Shift A, B, C and D:

A minimum of 17 posts will be allocated for CSC activities to ensure that a 24-hour service is rendered. This minimum requirement will be applicable to all stations.

• At satellite police stations:

24 hours – fixed standard of 18 posts;

12/8 hours –fixed standard of 10 posts; and

Only weekdays/office hours – fixed standard of four posts.

• Contact points:

24 hours – fixed standard of eight posts;

12/8 hours –fixed standard of four posts; and

Only weekdays/office hours – fixed standard of two posts.

• Sector Policing (Shift A, B, C & D) & Crime Prevention

A minimum requirement of a sector commander and 16 posts (two vehicles per shift) was applied, although this will increase resource requirements significantly. The calculated theoretical number of posts required for sector policing is divided by 17 to determine the optimal number of sectors allocated per station. 80% of the theoretical posts will be allocated to sector teams and 20% to crime prevention.

• Custody Management;

A minimum of 17 posts will be allocated for custody management activities to ensure that a 24-hour service is rendered only for stations with detention facilities.

• Operational Support – The following sub-sections form part of this section:

*Court Services, Firearms, Liquor and Second-Hand Goods (FLASH), Exhibit Management, General Enquiries, and Sector Managers.

Court - The number of calculated theoretical posts for Court Services will only be applicable at stations with full-time courts. The minimum criteria is two posts per active court room and two posts per cell complex. However, an adequate allocation has already been made at the CSC to provide for the transporting of detainees and temporary court duties at stations without full-time courts.

FLASH - The number of calculated theoretical posts are associated with the specified functions and the workload. A fixed allocation per station is not done.

Exhibit Management - The number of calculated theoretical posts are associated with the specified functions and the workload. A fixed allocation per station is not done.

General Enquiries - The number of calculated theoretical posts are associated with the specified functions and the workload. A fixed allocation per station is not done.

Sector Managers – one sector manager per sector.

(2)(b) Staffing requirements are managed on a continuous basis, through monthly Human Resource Committee meetings. Personnel shortages are identified in line with the approved Fixed Establishment and the actual staff establishment in a Province. All vacancies are identified and submitted for advertisement through various projects, which are facilitated by the Division: Personnel Management.

1. The Station Commander was contacted telephonically by Councillor Tetzani, on 2017-03-01, who indicated that a Democratic Alliance (DA) delegation intended visiting the station and putting questions to the Station Commander, Colonel Vesi. The Station Commander welcomes the visit, but has indicated that questions related to the station, should be directed to the Provincial Office, as this is standard practice in the South African Police Service (SAPS).

2. The Station Commander has never refused to meet with any political delegation. Please refer to the attached correspondence which documents a meeting conducted with the Station Commander on 27 May 2016.

(1) The South African Police Service (SAPS) does not have specialised units to specifically investigate crimes committed on farms and small holdings (farm attacks). Crime committed on farms and smallholdings has, however, been identified as a strategic priority and is being dealt with as such. The prevention and combatting of these crimes has been included in the Annual Operational Plan for the 2017/2018 financial year of the Division: Visible Policing and is also being addressed in the Rural Safety Strategy. The investigation of these crimes is also prioritised at provincial level and, depending on the complexity and nature of specific crimes, the investigations are conducted by Provincial Investigation Units, which resort under the direct command and control of the Deputy Provincial Commissioner: Crime Detection.

(2) A scientific study to determine the reasons behind the criminal behaviour during the commission of these crimes has not yet been conducted, but the modus operandi and the circumstances under which these crimes are committed, are constantly being analysed by Detective Service, Crime Intelligence, the Crime Registrar and Visible Policing, in order to implement specific operational and tactical plans for the prevention, combating and investigation of these crimes.

1. The South African Police Service (SAPS) collects data annually using “input management sheets” for all police stations. The information collected, indicates workload, based on prevailing circumstances, and will therefore indicate whether or not the station should be upgraded. The data collection process for 2017 has been included and the status of the Sebenza Police Station will remain unchanged.

(2)(a)(b)(c) Sebenza Precinct:

The following information is relevant to the Sebenza Police Station precinct:

Sector:	1	2	3	TOTAL
Residents	10 235	5 117	4 837	20 470
Businesses	48	150	120	342
Key Points*	01	0	01	02

National Key Points: NCP Chemicals in Sector 1 and AEL Explosive Company in Sector 3. Please note that this information is collected for the police station precinct and not by the sectors.

Reply:

A.   The Danger Allowance Dispensation was terminated in 2001 in the South African Police Service (SAPS) with the conclusion of Safety and Security Sectoral Bargaining Council (SSSBC) Agreement 4 of 2001.

Agreement 4/2001, introduced a Service Allowance,taking into consideration the unique situation of the SAPS with regard to the affordability of the danger allowance and other allowances. The Agreement was a consolidation of the Danger Allowance, Special Danger Allowance and Standby Allowance into one amount of R400,00.

B.   The amount has never been reviewed since 2001, and it is currently on the agenda of the SSSBC, for review.
