President Cryil Ramaphosa has signed another Bill into law, with major changes to how policing works in the country.
President Cyril Ramaphosa has signed into law the Independent Police Investigative Directorate Amendment Act.
“The Civilian Secretariat provides the Minister of Police with policy advice and research support, develops departmental policy, provides civilian oversight of the South African Police Service, and mobilises stakeholders outside the department around crime prevention and policing matters,” said the Presidency.
The updated legislation also amends provisions related to the appointment of the IPID executive Director and broadens the Executive Director’s responsibilities regarding the referral of recommendations on disciplinary matters. It can investigate rapes by a member of the SAPS or a municipal police service, whether on or off duty.
The Climate Change Bill, introduced by the Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment in 2022, provides for the nation’s climate change response, which includes mitigation and adaptation actions.
