DA's Winde blames ANC for police strike threat
Johannesburg - Western Cape Minister of Community Safety, Alan Winde, a member of the Democratic Alliance has blamed the African National Congress for threats by the South African Police Service members to go on strike.
“These reports are deeply troubling. A strike will cripple policing in the Western Cape, given that it’s already under immense pressure as a result of being under-resourced by 4 500 officers, and infighting amongst its top echelons. "I will also be asking for an update on the investigation I have called for regarding whether officers are being promoted due to their political affiliations," said Winde.
