press release

The Minister of Police, Nathi Nhleko, needs to make clear his reasons for not making public the record of South African Police Service (SAPS) personnel who have been convicted of criminal offences in the last year.

This morning a reply to a DA parliamentary question has revealed that the Minister does not have readily available the number of SAPS personnel who have been convicted of criminal offences in the last year. Furthermore, that he has asked for more time to make public these details "due to the long drawn out process of concluding the criminal matters in court."
