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.

Due to the secrecy provisions contained in Section 69 of the Tax Administration Act No. 28 of 2011, The South African Revenue Service (SARS) is prohibited from disclosing any taxpayer information (including whether or not a taxpayer is subject to an investigation) to any person other than a SARS official.

SARS treats the tax affairs of all parliamentarians in exactly the same manner as all other taxpayers in accordance with the compliance model. This model is premised on three components to encourage tax compliance: Education, Service and Enforcement.

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.

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);

Black smallholder farmers refer to African, Coloured and Indian smallholder farmers who are natural persons and:

1. “Are citizens of the Republic of South Africa by birth or descent; or
2. Are citizens of the Republic of South Africa by naturalisation before the commencement date of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa Act of 1993; or
3. Became citizens of the Republic of South Africa after the commencement date of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa Act of 1993, but who, had it not been for the Apartheid policy, would have qualified for naturalisation before then.

The definition of “Black people” now includes South African Chinese people as per the Pretoria High Court ruling on the 18th June 2008.”

Therefore, the whole 37% was allocated for black smallholder farmers.

Tigers are not regulated in terms National Environmental Management Biodiversity Act (Act No. 10 of 2004) or Threatened & Protected Species Regulations(TOPS). The national Department of Environmental Affairs , therefore, does not keep statistics on numbers of registered breeders, tigers in captivity, and hunting in South Africa as it is done with the key indigenous big mammals (Rhino, Elephants) as well as other big cats (Lions and Leopards). Provincial Authorities may have statistics on a number of registered captive facilities and hunting as such may be regulated through respective provincial legislation.

(a) The PSiRA and SAPS Central Firearm Registry previously embarked on an audit of the Firearm Registry’s database in respect of security businesses. This audit focused on the different categories or classes of security service providers where the use of firearms are more prevalent, such as the general guarding sector, assets in transit services, reaction services, close protection and the anti-poaching sector.

Whilst PSiRA plays a role in assisting with the control of firearms within the industry, the ultimate control responsibility lies with the office of the Central Firearms Register (CFR) of the South African Police Service (SAPS) who is responsible for not only considering firearm license applications, but also monitoring compliance in terms of the Firearms Control Act.

The scope of the audit primarily focused on identifying the security business from the 8 345 institutions licensed for firearms by the Central Firearms Register. From the audit conducted, PSiRA identified 3 340 security businesses licensed for firearms. Although the audit did have some limitations, it revealed that of the 122 788 firearms that were licensed to the 8 345 institutions, 101 612 (83 %) thereof were licensed to the private security industry.

Firearm control within the private security industry is high on the agenda of both PSiRA and SAPS. Following on from a Memorandum of Agreement signed between the two entities, a firearms sub-committee has been established to improve firearm control within the industry. The sub-committee is currently implementing the following:

• Database integration and access to both entities;
• Enhancing the institution database to include coding for all security businesses licensed for firearms in order to extract the details of these businesses more accurately and timeously;
• Sharing of information between the two entities and reporting any changes in relation to registration statuses, addresses, investigations, etc. of security businesses by either entities; and
• Joint inspections and operations.

1. The question refers to “entities” and associated “boards” or “councils”.

2. The inference does not refer to departments such as the South African Police Service (SAPS).  The question therefore, is not appropriate for the SAPS to answer.

3. Public entities are defined in section 1 of the PFMA, 1999 (National and Provincial entities).  PSIRA is listed as such an entity.  The CSP and IPID are also departments as listed in the Public Service Act.

(1) The number of incidents on farms and small holdings for August 2017, cannot be confrimed, as it is currently undergoing a verification process according to the definition for incidents of farms and small holdings.

(1)(a) To increase capacity at rural police stations in order to ensure equitable policing services to the rural communities. The following policing actions are taken to address safety in rural areas:

• hot spots were identified where incidents occur;
• analysis of incidents in order to determine the trends and modus operandi;
• operations to prevent crime conducted in hot spots;
• increase patrols in hot spots
• visit farm owners;
• simulation exercises to test the reaction capacity to incident specifically on farms;
• Priority Committee meetings for Rural Safety on all levels are conducted;
• awareness campaigns;
• capacity building sessions with Rural Safety Coordinators on all levels; and
• compliance inspections at rural police stations.

(1)(b) Priority continues to be provided to murders that occur on farms. Murders on farms are addressed within the Rural Safety Strategy, which is still in place and is implemented at rural and rural/urban police stations. The status of the implementation of the Rural Safety Strategy is an indicator in Programme 2: Visible Policing, in the Annual Performance Plan (APP) of the South African Police Service, for the current financial year (2017/2018).

2. Rural Safety, which includes food security, is a priority to the South African Police Service. There is no plan in place to establish specialised units, which will only address incidents and murders on farms. The plan is to increase the capacity of rural police stations, to ensure that they can provide equitable police services to all citizens, within rural communities and this includes people staying and working on farms.

3. A statement concerning the capacity building at rural police stations, will be made when the planning is completed and a plan with an allocated budget is in place.
