NW996E

REPLY:

  1. Wildlife Crime is not identified as a priority crime in general.

The Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI) does regard serious organised wildlife crime within the ambit of the DPCI’s primary functions to prevent, combat and investigate national priority offences as a priority crime.

          “National  Priority Offences ” means organised crime, crime that requires national prevention or investigation, or crime which requires specialised skills in the prevention and investigation thereof, as referred to in section 16(1) and (2) of the SAPS Act, 1995 (Act no 68 of 1995);

Rhino Related Matters

The SAPS has decided to declare the illegal killing of rhino’s and the illegal trade in rhino horn as a priority crime and following a request from the Minister of Water and Environmental Affairs, elevated this to the National Joints Security Committee (NATJOINTS) in South Africa. This resulted in a national project, called “Operation Rhino”, being approved and a NATJOINTS Priority Committee to manage the project, being established and mandated to handle all rhino related investigations and cases. The agencies participating in the joint committee includes the SAPS, SANDF, National Intelligence Agency, SA Civil Aviation Authority, DEA, SanParks, South Africa Veterinary Council, the Department of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries, the Department of Health (Medicines Control) and all other relevant co-opted stakeholders.

(2)      The Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI) regards corruption within official ranks as serious and addresses corrupt activities within the ambit of the DPCI’s primary functions to prevent, combat and investigate national priority offences as a priority crime of which corruption forms part.

Corruption within the official ranks is addressed by means of major and project investigations within the ambit of the Prevention of Organised Crime Act (POCA) and the Prevention of Corrupt Activity Act.

These investigations are supported by the Integrity and Corruption units within the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigations.

This was aimed at assisting the South African Post Office to secure funds in order to fund its Universal Service Obligations, which clearly it could not afford without fiscal assistance.

(b)      In 2012/13, the SOE Unit in conjunction with the National Treasury, SAPO and later ICASA set up a Task Team to consider how the financial burden that SAPO faced could be alleviated. The primary focus of this work was to look at how SAPO could be relieved of the burden of Universal Service Obligations placed upon it. This work culminated with ICASA approving the reduction of the quantum of some obligations i.e. address rollout, delivery standards and infrastructure rollout (outlets). Parallel engagements also commenced to encourage SAPO to develop a Turnaround plan to deal with the systemic and structural problems that it was facing.

          Subsequent to the review of quarterly reports and Annual Financial Statements of the South African Post Office, the SOC Unit wrote to the Chairperson of the board through the Minister, informing the board to take appropriate actions to remedy the deteriorating financial position of SAPO. In addition thereto, the board was informed personally by the Minister in bilateral meetings and at Annual General Meetings, to avert the deteriorating financial position of the South African Post Office. In all these interactions, the board was informed to develop a turnaround strategy for the South African Post Office.

          A Strategic Planning Workshop was hosted by the Ministry of Communications in conjunction with the South African Post Office was held on the 18 December 2013. The purpose of the workshop was to review the performance of SAPO in light of declining mail volumes and the deteriorating financial situation. The workshop sought to reposition SAPO in the new ICT landscape.  

In addition, the Department has through the SOE Unit continued to proactively engage SAPO on the development of the strategic turnaround strategy in the 2013/2014 financial year. Numerous workshops were held with SAPO during the 2014/2015 until currently to ensure the development of the turnaround plan. Regular meetings were also held with SAPO through the SOE Unit to monitor the implementation of short-term turnaround initiatives in collaboration with the National Treasury counterparts.  Understandably, the Department is not involved in the day to day operations of SAPO but is continually appraised and advised thereto, with regards to the strategic turnaround initiatives, financial and labour issues as well as general oversight.

(2)      No senior manager received any bonus in the SOE Unit in both 2011/12 and 2012/13.

(i)            N/A

(ii)           N/A

(3)      All the SAPO Board members voluntarily resigned in November 2014, so there is no action to be taken against them but kindly note the SIU is still underway and we are waiting the outcome.

QUESTION 397

DATE OF PUBLICATION IN INTERNAL QUESTION PAPER: 27 FEBRUARY 2015

(INTERNAL QUESTION PAPER NO 4-2015)

397.      Ms D Carter (Cope) to ask the Minister of Police:

(1)        Whether he has taken into account the findings of the Institute for Security Studies, published on 19 September 2013 in the Mail and Guardian (details furnished); if not, why not; if so, what (a) combination of measures will he implement to turn around the situation in the most crime-ridden and dangerous areas of our towns and cities and (b) criteria will be used to evaluate the success of these measures;

(2)        whether he will make a statement on what difference living in our democracy is making to all persons who continue to reside in places which previously were created for disenfranchised communities who suffered the worst ravages of physical danger and crime?

NW472E

REPLY:

(1)(a)     Yes, the Government and specifically the South African Police Service (SAPS) took note and are using amongst other instruments the findings of the Institute for Security Studies to deal with the prevalence of crime. These statistics are regularly analysed and it compliments the strategies of the Division Crime Intelligence in the development and update of station crime profiles and station intelligence profiles. A Memorandum of Understanding is in place between the SAPS and Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) and in this regard the SAPS also utilize the Victim of Crime Survey released from time to time by Stats SA to determine the public’s perception of crime.

The SAPS continuously use crime threat and crime pattern analyses to identify  and process hotspot areas in all provinces. SAPS focus all relevant policing actions in these hotspot areas in order to combat and prevent crimes in the affected areas.

SAPS continuously use crime information and research to also engage other departments and to mobilise external partnerships and community structures to address factors that contribute to crime. Interventions from these entities are monitored through the National Crime Combatting Forum and National Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure (Natjoints), and corrective measures are taken when necessary.

SAPS is working closely with departments in the Justice, Crime Prevention and Security cluster to address the effectiveness of the criminal justice sector as a whole. SAPS also fosters cooperation with Departments in the social sector to address causes and contributing factors to violent crime such as murder, including substance abuse and violence against women and children. SAPS Provincial Commissioners are also working closely with provincial governments to ensure that there is collaboration to address aspects that can more effectively be addressed by other departments.

(b)        The policing actions instituted in these hotspot areas are closely monitored and corrective measures are implemented on an ongoing basis to ensure effective policing. Reported crime rates as well as SAPS performance indicators as published in the SAPS Annual Performance Plan is utilised in this regard. The SAPS Annual Report for the financial year 2013/2014 show a significant decrease in most of the serious crimes reported to SAPS.

(2)        The Minister of Police regularly engages the community through community outreach programmes and the media.

(INTERNAL QUESTION PAPER NO 4-2015)

383.      Mr F Beukman (ANC) to ask the Minister of Police:

Whether the community-based recruitment strategy for new SA Police Service members has achieved its intended goals; if so, what are the relevant details?

NW415E

REPLY:

The community-based recruitment strategy was developed primarily to include community participation in the recruitment process for new SA Police Service members and to professionalize the SAPS in line with the National Development Plan, Vision 2030.

The fundamental changes include the following:

  • Targeted recruitment (conducting of community imbizos to market the vacancies in the local communities)
  • Publishing of names of successful applicants in the media for public comment
  • Strengthening of selections panels to include Cluster and Station Commanders
  • Grooming Camps as part of the final selection phase
  • Presentation of successful applicants to the local community
  • Provincial Recruitment Boards including internal as well as external role-players to make final recommendations to the National Commissioner

The community-based recruitment strategy for new SA Police Service members was piloted in 2014 and has added value to the quality of new police officers being recruited and contributes positively to the cadre of police needed in the SAPS.

The programme will provide an overview of various aspects in managerial styles, leadership, service delivery, resource management and operational management in order to provide Station Commanders with the fundamental functions of a station commander in the South African Police Service.

The intent of the Learning Programme is to give the Station Commander a solid overview to the mechanisms and functions of a Station Commander within the SAPS environment, and thereby aiding the official in the decisions made and the implications thereof. This will provide the Station Commanders with leadership and management competencies to improve service delivery.

In the 2014/2015 financial year, the Station Management Learning Programme (SMLP) has been under review by the Division: Human Resource Development. The review process aims at updating and improving the current learning programme. The reviewed SMLP consists of the following modules and handouts that have been integrated into the programme to be rolled out and implemented later in 2015:

379.      Ms M P Mmola (ANC) to ask the Minister of Police:

(1)        Whether his department is currently implementing sector policing as a strategy to fight crime; if so, what is the number of police stations implementing it;

(2)        whether the sector policing strategy has been reviewed; if not, why not; if so, what lessons have been learnt?

NW401E

REPLY:

(1)        Sector Policing is being implemented as a policing approach to address crime at local level, based on the principles of community policing. Sector Policing as approach has been implemented at 1096 police stations countrywide.

(2)        Yes, Sector Policing as approach was reviewed and the outcome of the review indicated that:

  • a “one size fits all” sector policing approach cannot be adopted;
  • Sector Policing is not the only operational policing approach and police stations should be given discretion to decide on the most suitable policing approach, depending on the community they serve;
  • police stations, especially in deep rural areas, cannot implement Sector Policing to the same standard as in urban areas with well-developed infrastructure and smaller policing precincts;
  • Sector Policing is not a sustainable policing approach if its success only depends on huge numbers of human and physical resources; and
  • Sector Policing should be used as policing approach to encourage community mobilisation, interaction and building a culture of mutual cooperation and trust.

This ammunition may only be used for training purposes. However, this ammunition is still in use by Specialized Units within the SAPS for training, ballistic testing of firearms and IBIS test firing purposes.

  1. An instruction to withdraw all such ammunition was issued from the Divisional Commissioner, Supply Chain Management on 12 September 2006, which also instructed that such ammunition may not be issued any longer as from this date.

Recently another instruction in regard was issued by the Divisional Commissioner, Supply Chain Management to all Provisional Commissioners and Divisional Commissioners to immediately withdraw all non-standard, obsolete and unserviceable ammunition not in use, from their respective provinces and divisions.

All non-standard, obsolete and unserviceable ammunition is being sent on a continuous basis to the Ammunition Store at the Division Supply Chain Management for disposal and this is being monitored to ensure compliance.
