Police Minister Senzo Mchunu says the seventh administration will act decisively to bring the high level of crime in the country, under control.
He said he had benefited from briefings from the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation , the Independent Police Investigative Directorate , the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority and the Civilian Secretariat for the Police Service as well as various organisations and institutions within the security arena.
“The killing of women and children also continues to be cause for serious concern and warrants intensive action from law enforcement. Our mission is clear – our country must be safe for all citizens. People all over South Africa must be able to move around at any time without fear of marauding criminals.
“Genuine quests for economic transformation can be handled through the correct channels and by using existing policy prescripts, without resorting to hijacking construction sites and using extortion to source business. This matter will continue to receive priority attention,” the Minister said. “Uprooting corruption and removing corrupt police officers from SAPS will remain a top priority. Misconduct by SAPS members will not be tolerated and action will be taken.
