Police minister Bheki Cele said this year’s budget vote for the police service is dedicated to rebuilding and strengthening community relations in the fight against crime.
Cele made these remarks in parliament on Tuesday as he presented budget votes for this financial year for the SA Police Service , the independent police investigative directorate and the department of the civilian secretariat for police service . Cele said the deaths of more than 300 people during the riots in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng in July last year called for clear reforms of security services and at the same time exposed the divide between the police and the communities they serve.
Cele said the National Treasury has allocated additional funding for the recruitment of 12,000 new police trainees over the medium term expenditure framework with an allocation of R5.8bn to rejuvenate and improve policing capacity. “So the budget has increased and the performance has declined, proving that throwing more money at the problems is not a solution to the challenges faced by SAPS,” Whitfield said.
