The head of the Administration, Crime and Legal Department of the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) confirmed in a press release what Die Vryburger pointed out many times, namely that leaders in the SAPS were appointed despite their inability to perform their work.
Gareth Newman of the ISS said that a police commissioner cannot be appointed because of his political loyalty but by a transparent recruitment process based on merit.
Newman also said that the release of crime statistics reveals two serious crimes, namely, murder and violent robbery. Murder has increased by 22% over the last 5 years, and 40 000 cases of armed robbery have been reported in recent years.
