In terms of section 64E of the South African Police Service (SAPS) Act, 1995 (Act No 68 of 1995), the functions of a municipal police service are traffic policing, the policing of municipal by-laws and regulations, which are the responsibility of the relevant municipality and the prevention of crime. A municipal police service does not have the legislative mandate to conduct criminal investigations or to gather intelligence.

Reply:
(1). Between July 2021 and March 2022, the target is to train members of the South African Police Service (SAPS), at police stations, as first responders and equip them with pyrotechnics.
(2). The continual training of SAPS members at police stations, as first responders and equipping them with Crowd Management equipment, will reduce the risk of such incidents. It will enhance the response time as the police station members will be closer to the incidents, until such time that the Public Order Policing (POP) capacity is deployed. The target for training is 10 000 members, based on the proximity to hotspot areas. To date, 8 000 members have been trained and training is continuing.

Khumalo, Dr NV to ask the Minister of Police
Whether, with reference to the increase in the crime rate in the Republic, there are currently any collaborative interventions undertaken by the SA Police Service and the Department of Basic Education to deal with the (a) violence in schools amongst learners and (b) kidnapping of children in schools; if not, why not; if so, (i) what has been the method of measuring the impact of the interventions and (ii) to what extent has he found this to a reflection of an ineffective national intelligence function?
Reply:
(a) The South African Police Service (SAPS) and the Department of Basic Education (DBE) have completed the process of reviewing the School Safety Protocol, which guides the implementation of School Safety Programmes, aimed at promoting safer schools, nationally. There are various crime
awareness campaigns, which are implemented and conducted, by the SAPS, at schools to address, amongst others, incidences of bullying and gangsterism amongst learners, in and around school premises. Currently, there is a National School Safety Violence and Bullying Prevention Initiative that is being implemented, in response to the emerging incidents of bullying and violence by learners on and off school premises.
The SAPS also has a flagship project called the Junior Commissioner Project, whicF‹ is being implemented, from Grades 8 to 12. Junior Commissioners are appointed in schools, to lead crime prevention campaigns, under the mentorship of the SAPS. Junior Commissioners are also participating in School Safety Committees in their areas.
Awareness campaigns, which focus on the kidnapping of learners to and from schools, are conducted, on an ongoing basis. Multidisciplinary Investigation Teams have been established in the hotspot provinces, namely Gauteng,
KwaZulu-Natal, the Western Cape, North West and Limpopo. These teams are part of the Provincial Organised Crime Investigation units. Cases are prioritised, centralised and investigated, in terms of the 72-Hour Activation Plan. The Provincial Organised Crime Investigation teams are coordinated by the National Organised Crime Investigation Unit and activated by the Joint Operational Centres (JOC) and consist of:
Hostage negotiators.
Crime intelligence.
Detective Service (local police station).
Organised Crime units (National and Provincial levels).
Forensic Services, including Crime Scene Management.
Tactical Response Teams.
For the investigation of kidnapping cases, the multidisciplinary teams, make use of the following:
u Arrest of identified persons.
Centralisation of case dockets, for investigation purposes.
Centralisation of case dockets, for trial in court and prosecutor-directed investigations with the National Prosecution Authority (NPA).
Collection and analysis of data and information received, on the cases that are investigated by the multidisciplinary teams. This intervention has resulted in a decrease in the kidnapping of school children.
(i) The impact of the intervention programmes is measured through ongoing compliance inspections. Capacity building sessions are done where a gap is identified with regard to the implementation of School Safety Programmes.
(ij)
The involvement of the National Crime Intelligence does yield positive results, which assists investigation teams in effecting arrests and aeizures, as well as the confiscation of valuable exhibits during track and trace operations.

Majozi, Ms Z to ask the Minister of Police
Whether, in light of the recent crime intelligence report that has revealed that kidnappings in the Republic rose by 60% in 2021, his department has investigated allegations that members of the SA Police Service and private security companies were involved in kidnappin8•, if not, why not; if so, what are the full, relevant details?
Reply:
Private security companies form part of the multidisciplinary operational approach, which was adopted for the tracking and tracing of kidnappers and the rescuing of victims, in collaboration with the South African Police Service (SAPS).
Families of a kidnapped victim will typically approach a private security company of their choice, who in turn, according to the investigative procedures will be the mediator between the Joint Operational Centre (JOC) and the family of the victim. They are referred to as partners or stakeholders and collaboration is not limited to kidnappings but can include all other categories of crimes, which are problematic.
There is currently no reported case or incident where private security companies were involved in the commission of such a crime, identified as an accomplice or an accessory after the fact.
Members of the SAPS and other law enforcement agencies have been arrested in the following cases:
- Pretoria West, CAS 280/01/2021: Two City of Tshwane Metropolitan Police officials were arrested. The matter has been provisionally withdrawn, pending the tracking and tracing of the complainant.
. 2
Johannesburg Central, CAS 1054/02/2019: Nine suspects were arrested, of which two are members of the SAPS. The case has been set for trial arrangement, on 15 January 2022.
- Parkview CAS 142/08/2019, Bramley CAS 182/01/2020 and Rosebank CAS 61/02/2020: Five suspects were arrested, of which two are members of the SAPS. The same suspects were arrested in all three abovementioned cases and the case will be heard, in February 2022, for trial.

Majozi, Ms Z to ask the Minister of Police
(1) What are the reasons that transparent and competitive processes in the appointment of the Police Commissioner at the SA Police Service are not followed, (2) whether he will furnish Ms Z Majozi with the further relevant details on how the budget cuts in the 2020-21 financial year will affect policing over the festive season; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
- The National Commissioner of the South African Police Service {SAPS) is appointed by the President of the Republic of South Africa (RSA), in terms of Section 207(1) of the Constitution of the RSA, 1906. It is, therefore, the prerogative of the President, to determine the process in appointing a National Commissioner, for the SAPS.
- Adequate human capital is, however, key to the provisioning of a comprehensive policing service, which, despite available technology, is required in order in to execute this labour-intensive function. The reduction of the SAPS staff compliment over the medium-term, by implication, negatively Influences the SAPS’ ability to maintain an adequate work-force, in the pursuance of its objectives. Currently, the SAPS Management is forced to take strategic decisions, regarding the strategic resourcing and the operational focus of the SAPS, on the basis of the budget allocation, rather than on the reality on the ground and the associated demand for policing.
The R27,7 billion budget reduction, over the 2021 Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF), in relation to the 2020 budget estimates, comprises a reduction of R26, 2 billion, in respect of the compensation of employees and a
R1,5 billion reduction, in respect of goods and services. Of the R26,2 billion reduction on the compensation of employees, a reduction of approximately R18,8 billion is as a result of salary increases, which have not been provided for, over the period. As a result of these reductions, apart from the salary adjustments, the SAPS s ability to sustain the new intake of new recruits, as well as the capacitation of specialised units, will be severely affected.
In order to continue to allow for rte addressing of critical vacancies only and the augmenting of capacity at police stations, reprioritisation will remain a prominent feature over the medium-term. This will be achieved, by reducing the actual number of personnel allocated to non-operational, national and provincial competencies, in order to allow for the addressing of critical vacancies and the capacity at police stations and other key frontline capabilities, so as to ensure the sustainability of service delivery to communities. The reducing of non- operational national and provincial competencies, may however, compromise the various governance-related process that these capabilities are responsible for and which the operational environment relies on.
The Visible Policing Programme comprises of three sections, the first of which is Crime Prevention, which incorporates the majority of the basic functions that are performed at police station level; certain key abilities are, such as the Central Firearms Register (CFR) and the majority of the Crime prevention- orientated partnership initiatives, such as the Community Police boards and forums. The Specialised interventions Section represents critical specialised Capabilities, including the Public Order Policing (POP) Units, the Tactical Response Teams (TRT's) and the Special Task FORGO (STF). The final section, Border Security, includes the policing and border control functions that are performed, in respect of ports of entry.
The R14, 4 billion budget reduction in the Visible Policing Programme, over the 2021 MTEF, in relation to the 2020 budget estimates, amounts to R13.6 billion reduction in the Compensation of employees and a R0,8 billion reduction in goods and services. Approximately R9,8 billion of the R13, 6 billion reduction in the compensation of employees, is as a result of salary increases, which are not being provided for, over the period. In view of the decline in the budget allocation to the compensation of employees over the medium-term, alternatives such as technological enhancements and force-multipliers will be addressed, e.g. the recruitment of reservists has been identified as a mechanism that could compliment the SAPS’ personnel numbers, over a medium-term to longer period.
The situation means that SAPS must attempt to optimally use its existing resources but it also means that during the time, where intense police operations are required, for example during the festive season, the SAPS must resort to short-term interventions, e,g. not allowing members to take leave, recalling members from rest days and making use of overtime.
The SAPS is committed to ensure that it makes optimal use of its limited resources, to ensure that policing is not compromised, during festive season,

Roos, Mr AC to ask the Minister of Police
Whether, with reference to the meeting of the Portfolio Committee on Home Affairs on 9 November 2021 at which the SA Police Service was identified as one of the departments that has not yet provided the necessary input for the section 97 Presidential Proclamation to be signed to transfer the relevant border law enforcement functions to the Minister of Home Affairs, he has been informed that this lack of input is holding up the implementation of the Border Management Authority; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, (a) what is the reason for the delayed response and b) by what date will he provide the necessary inputs?
Reply:
(a) The South African Police Service (SAPS) provided inputs, with regard to the envisaged Section 97 Presidential Proclamation, to the Border Management Authority (BMA). The SAPS obtained a legal opinion, from counsel, which concludes that the envisaged Section g7 Presidential Proclamation will be ultra vires (beyond the powers).
Therefore, the SAPS is of the view that the sections of the legislation, mentioned in the envisaged Presidential Proclamation, do not deal with functions of the Minister of Police and may, therefore, not be transferred, in terms of Section 97, The only exception, is Section 92 of the Firearms Control Act, 2000 (Act No. 60 of 2000), which is the only section dealing with a clear power or function, assigned to the i4inister of Police. In terms of Section 92, the Minister of Police may prohibit or restrict the acquisition, disposal, possession or use of ammunition of a specified Clgss of ammunition.
(6) The SAPS and the Commissioner of the BMA are presently in a process of engagement, to find ways and means to empower border guards, to perform border law enforcement functions.

Reply:
Introduction
The term “rape kits" is used in the public domain, to refer to the collection kits, which are used to collect evidence from victims of sexual assault and rape. However, the South African Police Service (SAPS), makes use of 16 different types of crime kits to collect various samples at crime scenes, These include the two types of evidence collection kits, namely; the Adult Sexual Assault Collection Kit (D1) and the Paediatric Sexual Assault Collection Kit {D7), which are used to collect evidence from victims of sexual assault and rape. The Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) Reference Buccal Sample Kits (DB), are used to take buccal simples from persons, who are arrested and charged, for schedule eight offences (this includes serial murderers and serial rapists) as required by the DNA Act.
(a)(i)(ii)(iii)(iv) The breakdown of the availability of rape kits, as at 4 November 2021, at each office of the South African Police Service (SAPS), in the Western Cape, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and Eastern Cape, is reflected in the tables below:

The promotion and appointment of employees of the SA Police Service to advertised posts are, inter alia, regulated by National Instructions. These National Instructions make provision for the withdrawal of a promotion or appointment in the instance where an employee was dishonest in his or her application for a post. to instances where employees were dishonest in their applications, processes to withdraw such promotions or appointments are instituted. Further action in terms of the South African police Service Disciplinary Regulations, 2016 may also be considered, and in the stance where qualifications are forged, criminal charges may be instituted.

(a) What were if e reasons that certain persons (names and details furnished) are accommodated in a hotel while an official residence is reserved for this purpose, (b) on what date were the specified persons accommodated in the specified hotel, (c) what is the total cost to date and (d) for how long will the status quo remain?
Reply:
The Provincial Commissioner of the South African Police Service, in KwaZulu-Natal, was making use of interim accommodation, because the official reserved residential accommodation was not available at the time when he arrived in the Province. The reasons are as follows:
The official residence needed minor repairs, as well as the installation/upgrade of security features. These minor repairs were not regarded as an emergency and the normal procurement process had to be followed. Some of the suppliers had challenges in obtaining the material. which was required to execute the task.
The major challenge, which prevented the Provincial Commissioner from occupying the official residence, was the alleged dispute over ownership of the property and the change of ownership of the electricity account.

Shembeni, Mr HA to ask the Minister of Police
Whether he is considering to take in new police recruits IO boost the capacity of the SA Police Service in order to fight crime; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, (a) by what date will he be enrolling new recruits and (b) what number of new recruits does he intend to enrol? NW2749E
Reply:
Yes. The SAPS Compensation budget has been significantly reduced over the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF), which resulted in the SAPS Fixed Establishment (headcount) being hugely reduced over this period. To ensure that the compensation budget is not exceeded, very minimal enrolment of new Police recruits will take place over the MTEF.
- The intake is planned for 23 January 2022; and
- It is envisaged to enroll 3000 new Police recruits.
