Bosasa is a duly registered business with PSIRA. It is true that it is also providing security services at OR Tambo International Airport and they make use of camouflage uniform.

We have never had specific engagement with Bosasa regarding the wearing of camouflage uniform.

Bosasa uniform does not constitute any contravention regarding wearing of uniform. Wearing uniform is regulated in terms of Regulation 13 of the Act. Particularly regulation 13(7)(b) provides as follows:

(7)…Any security service provider who…

(b) without legal justification wear a uniform badge or insignia identical to, so closely resembling a uniform, badge or insignia of the South African Police Service, South African Defence Force, the Department of Correctional Services or any other Law enforcement agency or service established in terms of law, as to be calculated to deceive, is guilty of an offence and an conviction liable to a fine or imprisonment for a period not exceeding 24 months.

Bosasa’s camouflage uniform is per attached Annexure and it does not violate regulations.

In the event Bosasa, at some stage or another, used uniform in violation of regulation 13 it has since complied voluntarily – see Annexture below.

1. Yes, the South African Police Service is co-operating with other countries in order to update its capacity and capabilities in Policing Cyber Crime.

During 2011 and 2012 investigating officers of the Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Units (FCS), Division Detective Service, received training on the online sexual exploitation of children. This training was presented through KINSA (Kids Internet Safety Alliance) by the experienced law enforcement officers from Canada and Australia. The investigating officers also received soft tools with which to detect, identify and investigate computer facilitated crimes.

During 2014 investigating officers from the FCS unit also received training, which lasted for 5 weeks, presented by the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) in the United States of America (USA).

Between 2012 and 2014 investigating officers within the Detective Service also received training in the Peoples Republic of China, relating to the investigation of Cyber Crime.

The Division Crime Intelligence cooperates with other law enforcement Agencies in operational requests for investigations on certain cases and also on training interventions.

The cooperation with other countries includes training programmes developed to enhance the capabilities of members of SAPS to investigate cybercrime. In this regard, the Council of Europe, through the Global Action on Cybercrime (GLACY) Project, allocated funding for three years to build capacity and skills by providing the SAPS, DOJ, SSA, NPA and Judges with training for first responders, the development of cybercrime policy and cybercrime strategy.

The GLACY Project will continue for 36 months (November 2013 – October 2015). The specific objective of this project is to enable criminal justice authorities to engage in international cooperation on cybercrime and electronic evidence on the basis of the Budapest Convention on cybercrime.

Furthermore, there was an international conference on assessing the threat of cybercrime that took place on 26 and 27 March 2015 in Colombo, Sri Lanka. An invitation in this regard was extended to the National Commissioner of the South African Police Service to nominate suitable representatives to attend the conference. The Division Crime Intelligence nominated three (3) senior officers who attended a training session in Sri Lanka. The conference was attended by other member countries namely Mauritius, Morocco, Philippines, Senegal, Sri-Lanka, South Africa and Tonga.

The Division also nominated members who attended the 1st responder training for law enforcement training course on 17 to 21 November 2014 held at the St George Hotel in Centurion which was also provided through the GLACY project.

Strengthening interaction and co-operation between the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI) and International Law Enforcement Agencies and Prosecutorial Authorities, through the use of Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA), and communications on a formal and informal basis, specifically relating to the utilization of Information Communication Technology (ICT), proved essential in identifying the unique characteristics, crime patterns and criminal entrepreneurial tendencies associated with Organised transnational cybercrime.

The Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI), in order to address National Priority Offences pertaining to serious cybercrime and technology enabled crime, cooperated with Law Enforcement Agencies and Prosecuting Authorities of the United Kingdom, United States of America, France, Canada, Nederland’s, Ghana, thereby establishing international benchmarking standards relating to competence and best practice investigative methodologies in addressing cybercrime.

2. Yes, significant progress has been made in the apprehension and prosecution of Cyber criminals.

During 2013 SAPS conducted an undercover operation, “Operation Spade”, after information had been received from law enforcement officers of Canada. Several arrests were made and these cases are pending in court. The operation and investigation is still continuing.

During 2014 members of the SAPS together with FBI agents arrested a computer web administrator in the Eastern Cape. The suspect had been responsible for the abuse of more than one thousand children in the USA.

During 2015 and undercover operation, “Operation Cloud 9”, was registered and investigated in conjunction with law enforcement officers of Belgium and the USA (FBI). During take down operations, arrests were made in Western Cape, KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng relating to the manufacturing, possession and distribution of child pornography. Cases against the arrested suspects are still pending in court.

 

On 26 November 2011 the Cybercrime Intelligence Unit, Division Crime Intelligence, assisted in tracing a suspect named Zenwa Ugo Chukukere who was wanted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for cybercrime cases. The SAPS members were commended for the speedy arrest of the Nigerian national wanted by the FBI for conspiracy to commit wire fraud (internet fraud) to the value of $ 20 000 000.00 (US dollars).

On 20 May 2014 a joint operation between the DPCI, Crime Intelligence, South African Tactical Response Team, Department of Home Affairs, Interpol, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) was conducted where 12 people were arrested in South Africa and 10 were arrested in the United States and Canada for cybercrime related activities.

The suspects were part of an international cybercrime syndicate operating from South Africa and in the USA and Canada. The investigation was initiated by HSI special agents in October 2011 after US law enforcement was contacted by a Mississippi resident who fell prey to a “sweetheart scam”. The syndicate purchased shipping labels from US Postal Service, Federal Express, United Parcel Service and DHL using fraudulent credit card information and stolen identities over a number of years. Once the merchandise reached South Africa, it was advertised for sale on the internet. The Division Crime Intelligence also assisted in this operation by identifying and confirming the addresses of the suspects. Interpol was also involved in facilitating the coordination of this operation.

The Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI), emanating from international cooperation with law enforcement agencies and prosecuting authorities, initiated a criminal investigation during 2013, relating to transnational cybercrime. The operation named Scams “R” Us focused on a South African based cybercrime criminal enterprise, involved in mass-marketing fraud by purchasing merchandise from international distributors with stolen identity information and credit card particulars obtained from international hackers, and as a direct result of mutual cooperation between Law enforcement agencies of the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.

The DPCI was able to coordinate this operation resulting in twenty (20) individuals being simultaneously arrested in the Republic of South Africa, Canada and the United States of America. This operation continued with the DPCI further cooperating with the United Kingdom Authorities which led to the latter making a profound breakthrough by arresting a main fugitive associated with the identified criminal enterprise at Heathrow International Airport.

The South African Police Service received criticism in the past on the poor quality of police recruits. The Recruitment Strategy for the recruitment of new police officers was therefore revised to strengthen the recruitment processes with a focus on quality than quantity and to professionalise the Police Service in terms of the National Development Plan, Vision 2030. The new process included in the Strategy includes the following:

• Targeted recruitment (Community consultation / vigorous marketing and advertising of posts)
• Segregation of functions related to the Strategy
• Integrity Testing
• Grooming Camps
• Publishing of names of applicants in the media for public comment
• Presentation of applicants to the communities for inputs / comments
• Recruitment Board (to involve both internal and external stake-holders in the final decision of recommended candidates)

The recruitment strategy currently in place is continuously subjected to review informed by operational challenges and demands of the organization.

The Government did not take a specific decision to formulate new regulations on how to achieve optimal security benefits for the Head of State and other leaders at a cost approved by Parliament and scrutinised upon its completion by given committees or an ad hoc committee.  The guiding framework comprises the following:

1. On the 20 August 2003, Cabinet took a decision which is known as the policy on Security Measures at Private Residences of the President, Deputy President and former Presidents and Deputy Presidents. This decision deals with the process according to which the South African Police Service and the Department of Public Works would investigate, fund and maintain security measures at the private residences of the President, Deputy President, former Presidents and former Deputy Presidents.

In terms of the policy, the main consideration shall be the safety of the President, Deputy President, former Presidents or Deputy Presidents.

 

2. The Department of Public Works follows the procurement and expenditure processes as prescribed by regulations and instructions issued by National Treasury in terms of the Public Finance Management Act 1 of 1999. Any deviation from these processes may result in criminal and disciplinary charges and officials who fail to comply with these procedures and incur wasteful expenditure, place themselves at risk of prosecution or dismissal.

It is submitted, with respect, that policies cannot be changed to address human

behaviour.

c)      Yes, the approach with regard to provision of shelters is catered in the collective budget that prioritizes the rebuilding of the ports. It must be further mentioned that apart from the rebuilding process, there is also a Repair and Maintenance Programme (RAMP) for all ports in order to deal with day to day challenges and that programme is also financed and budgeted through the collective budget from Treasury.

(d) Yes.

The National Management Forum took a decision that all SAPS garages must fall under Divisional Commissioner: Supply Chain Management in order to improve the availability of vehicles for policing purposes. A turnaround strategy has subsequently been put in place by the SAPS and lengthy procurement processes were shortened and capacity was increased at the garages in terms of infrastructure (e.g. purchasing of diagnostic equipment, hoists and specialized tools).

Spare parts stores were also established in all SAPS garages with fast moving spares.

A contract for spare parts was also awarded nationally in 2014 for the supply and delivery of vehicle spare parts but the SAPS does not solely rely on the spare parts contract to ensure an operable vehicle fleet. It also makes use of the following methods to not affect the downtime of the SAPS vehicles:

• Purchase vehicle body parts on the three (3) quotation basis;

• Repairs to drive line units in terms of contract 19/1/9/1/38TV (11);

• Outsourcing of repairs on a strip and quote basis to single source suppliers;

• Obtaining parts from the vehicle manufacturer’s agents;

• Utilizing of serviceable parts from SAPS vehicles already boarded (“cannibalizing”), and

• Maintaining vehicles in terms of contract RT46.

All SAPS garages are expected to ensure that a minimum of 80% or more of the vehicle fleet is available for policing at all times, and it is continually monitored to ensure this target is met or exceeded. The current national vehicle availability ratio is 83.35% average as on 30 June 2015.

It will be very time consuming to collate all the statistics relating to each border post and post of entry where there are SAPS members and vehicles; however the average time spent for SAPS vehicles in the garages for services was two (2) days during the 2014/15 financial year and we are striving to improve thereon and reduce the average to one (1) day.

(e) Since 2010 all members assigned to Border Policing completed the Z204 vetting forms for vetting process, all documents were received and forwarded to the Division Crime Intelligence for vetting processes. Over and above that process, the government departments, through the BCOCC, have collectively arranged with the National School of Government, previously known as PALAMA, for workshops on corruption that included attendance by various ports members.

As from 2011/2012 to 2014/2015 the closing down of illegal and unlicensed liquor outlets by the SAPS has been a performance indicator as per the Annual Performance Plan of the SAPS. The reported statistical information was generated from the Operational Management and Monitoring System (OPAM).

Prior to this the reported statistical information (2009/2010 to 2010/211) was generated by means of a manual of system.

The reported statistical information for the financial year 2014/2015 cannot be provided as such information has not yet been released by the Minister of Police.

(a) The SAPS uses both digital and print formats to communicate relevant information regarding officers’ disciplinary matters. We send out information through the ‘All Users’ Email group on information picked up in the media regarding police officers being arrested, charged, convicted and sentenced for criminal actions, under the heading “Breaking News Advisory”. We also do print magazines monthly at national and provincial offices.

(b) We communicate court outcomes and not trials.

(c) No

(d) National and provincial management frequently nominates SAPS employees who have performed beyond the call of duty to ensure the safety of people and property in South Africa for awards. These nominations are forwarded to the National Monitoring Evaluation Committee which recommends that such members are rewarded financially and by means of a certificate endorsed by the National Commissioner and/or the Minister of Police. This is done on an ongoing basis. Approval of such nominations is distributed internally to all SAPS employees via e-mail and included in print publications.

(e) Not IPID information per se, but such information either results in internal disciplinary or criminal investigations. The outcomes of these investigations are disseminated as per response to (a) and (b) above.

1. The reintroduction of specialised units in the South African Police Service is determined by organisational priorities and is being considered annually. There is no intention in the Annual Performance Plan 2015/2016 to reintroduce any additional specialised units. Existing units are continuously being capacitated to enhance their capability to render an effective and efficient service.

The moment a need for the establishment of a specialised unit is identified, the need is analysed and investigated taking existing capacities and organisational priorities into consideration in order to address a specific need.

2.  No statement will be made at this moment in time.

1. The South African Police Service does not have a specific policy or guidelines for enforcing legislation on sex work and suspected sex workers. There are however generic policies and guidelines utilized by members instead of policy and guidelines for specific offences.

Members of the South African Police Service carry out their functions and exercise their powers in terms of the Criminal Procedure Act, 1977 (Act No. 51 of 1977), including the lawful arrest of sex workers. The circumstances under which any arrest may be performed and the method of arrest is set out in Standing Order (General) 341 (Arrest and the treatment of an arrested person until such person is handed over to the community service centre commander).

The Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and related matters) Amendment Act of 2007 (Act No. 32 of 2007) created an offence relating to the client of the sex worker (i.e engaging the sexual services of persons 18 years or older). National Instruction 3 of 2008 on Sexual Offences provides for the implementation of the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Act, 2007 (Act No. 32 of 2007). 

2.  SAPS members receive training in the following disciplines that also apply to law enforcement in respect of sex work:

• Human Rights in Policing
• Victim Empowerment
• Dealing with Vulnerable Groups
• Apprehension of Suspects

3.  The SAPS does not have specific training programmes that deal with the apprehension and searching of sex workers. The training provided is based in SAPS directives mentioned in par (1) above and applies to all individuals apprehended by the SAPS, irrespective of the alleged crime.

4.  SAPS is unfortunately not able to provide the details within the given time frame as the information is not readily available and must be obtained from the provinces. A request is hereby made for an extension in order for us to provide quality and correct information as soon as it is received.
