The South African Police Service is apparently preparing to monitor social media in South Africa with the launch of a new operation.
The South African Police Service is reportedly preparing to launch an operation to monitor social media platforms on the back of the July 2021 Unrest.
Insiders at SAPS told the Sunday World that instead of being a real operation to counteract any future unrest, it is instead a method to get employees of the former Police Minister Bheki Cele to remain on the force, something that goes against the directive of the Department of Public Service and Administration .
“We also have the intelligence analysis and coordination unit, which monitors social media as part of its daily duties.”
