“The officers on duty are reported to be without critical equipment, such as radios, torches, handcuffs, uniforms and firearms, which are needed to operate.”
Makhubo said the Johannesburg Metro Police Department was in a critical condition.
Makhubo spoke out against the abuse of resources in the city, citing “serious instability, blatant illegal and serious political interference to suit the former mayor's political allies”. When it came to the insourcing of staff — a popular policy of Mashaba's that was praised across party lines, including by the EFF — Makhubo said the city required R320m to pay overtime due to security officers and cleaners added to the permanent staff from April 2018.
