SAPU WELCOMES THE GOVERNMENT OF NATIONAL UNITY


The South African Policing Union (SAPU) welcomes the Government of National

Unity(GNU), as today marks the inauguration of the President of the 7th

administration, President Cyril Ramaphosa, at the Union Buildings in Pretoria.

We would also like to congratulate the President on taking up the second term in

the administration of Government. We hope that this marriage of Government of

National Unity is not a marriage of convenience but that it is a marriage that will

be formidable also when coming to address issues that relates to safety and

security in this country.


We would like to see the 7th administration taking issues of safety very seriously

by ensuring that the Safety and Security Sector is fully resourced. When looking

at challenges that are facing SAPS, Border Management Authority, Traffic

department and the Department of Correctional Services which mostly relates to

budget, resources both on the human capital front, physical and any other related

challenges. Safety plays a critical role, because if the country is safe, then we can

be able to attract investors into the country who will then contribute on the

economic growth of the Republic.



SAPU is calling on the President when appointing cabinet Ministers to appoint a

woman Police Minister. This call is on the backdrop that since the Democratic

dispensation, we never had a woman Police Minister and when talking about

women emancipation, it should not only be lip service, but we should be able to

see it when coming to critical positions like those of the Police Ministry. This is an

opportune time for the President to show the country that he believes in women

leadership through the appointment of the next Minister of Police.

SAPU CALLS FOR NO DEPLOYMENT OF MEMBERS AT KAYAMANDI SAPS

By SAPU • February 15, 2023
South African Policing Union (SAPU) in the Eastern Cape has noted with grave concern the increase in mass murders taking place in our province. This weekend several people were killed at a private birthday party in Nomjila Street, Kwazakhele. This is the third incident of mass killings in the last two weeks. SAPU calls for the establishment of specialised units, specifically Murder and Robbery units which must focus on the mass killings which leave many families stricken with grief. These families have a right to have these killings speedily investigated and that the perpetrators are arrested and charged.  Since 2020 South African Policing Union (SAPU) has called on the SAPS management to re-establish all specialized units which were closed in 2008. The closure of these units has hindered investigations and has demoralized dedicated and committed police officers. Murder and robbery as well as serious and violent crime units were among those units closed, thus the rise in those crimes. The recent establishment of police teams to deal with specific types of crimes has vindicated SAPU’s call for specialized units to be brought back. The implications of these high crime levels and the increases are enormous, and they need to be addressed, we can’t wait we need to do this now.
