Retired police officers, judges, magistrates and others will be lured back to the criminal justice system to help fight crime. This was decided at a meeting between government and business leaders in Pretoria.

Business leaders met Charles Nqakula, the safety and security minister, and Brigitte Mabandla, the justice minister, to discuss ways to fight the current crime wave.

Nqakula says an immediate review of the criminal justice system is to be undertaken. Micheal Spicer, the chief executive of Business Leadership SA, says both government and business will second senior executives to the initiative.

Nqakula says something needs to be done to mobilise ordinary people in the fight against crime. He says the police will recruit former experienced officers to help in the training of new recruits.

Looks like they're finally doing something, good. This could actually help.

 

[neio]

I hope the retired cops carge them an arm and a leg for being stupid in the first place.

Just hire people in the vacate police posts ! Don't we have a work shortage?

 

[supersunbird]

Yeah, thats it, finally they are waking up, annd spending money in the right place.

My dad was offered a package to get out of the army, then a few years later they wanted him back real badly because of his skills, so that he could train APLA soldiers for integration into the SANDF...

Well we have to wait and see! But for now, like everything before, it just beckons of the old quality of GVT, LIPSERVICE! Nothing else. Look what they said about broadband and cost of telecommunications and see what we got. Then again as tibby said we are evolving, it will take centuries but at least we will progress, how far? I do not know, looking at the rest of Africa and our current situation any progress will be beyond any of our lives!

Makes more sense to bring back people that are already trained though.

What is with this dumb government firing everyone in the first place - um if its not black its not good enough - hence we sit with a shortage of teachers, policemen and local government admin. Um - we'd rather the jobs stood empty - even though 70% of our undergraduates are unemployed - because its not black enough. No electricity - um, not black enough. No borders, um, not black enough. No clue, um, not black enough.

Um - leave the country - you're not black enough.

Etc.

Too high broadband? - whites only - let them pay. The fact that cheaper telco would lead to more jobs - um, whities pay the bills - and none of our peeps can afford computers anyway - let them pay. My merc depends on it.

Sickening - and enough to turn a person into a racist.

kilo - i dare say you already are one

Aha, and what would you base that on?

 

[Chatmaster]

To be honest this will still not solve the problem. The big issue in the police atm is the fact that they changed it from a militaristic environment to a business environment.

There is general lack of pride, maturity and discipline that starts from training. The training they receive these days do not mentally equip students for real life police work. Mentally they are not prepared to face the hardened criminals that we have now. They have the attitude because they think the have power, but when the action calls they wet themselves.

Employing completely unexperienced people to be directors and commissioners in the SAPS is actually themain problem. I mean our Jackie Selebe came from Foreign Affairs! What does he know about crime, crime scenes and police work in general?
Note the empty picture on their website, lol http://www.saps.gov.za/_dynamicModules/internetsite/buildingBlocks/basePage4/divMP.asp

Looks to me as though the governments admitting their mistake, which I would think would be the first step to rectifying the situation.

Oh gee - do you think we are going to get to walk into the future together (as Nelson wished) - or are we going to continue on this path of "separate development?"

Funny how whites now depict Mandela as some sort of an angel whereas a while back he was a "terrorist".

Let's not obsess about our racial identity?

Mandela was found guilty of some serious charges. It was his second appearance. Was he a terrorist? Well, I don't think he actually denied what he did, just that he argued it was necessary for him to do it.

He is not seen as an angel. He is seen as someone who paid for his crime and came out of captivity a rational, reasonable voice rather than being bitter and disaffected. He dreamed of uniting the races in a true democracy. Many things, such as the blatant purge of experienced white police offices, would probably not have happened under his regime. Instead we have Mbeki, who seems to want to antagonise minorities and blame apartheid for everything.

Yeah he was a terrorist, for his own reasons! Jailed and humiliated! He had all the reasons to hate, but came out a better man! This country's reverse racists, You all know who you are, is not even worth his feces or excrement!

BTW Whats spot the difference in this report! What is different regards to South Africans? http://www.mweb.co.za/news/?p=top_article&i=284734

becuz then you would land up with the problem we have now. we need an effecient mentoring system and staff whom know and care about what they are doing. and yes increase in salary to cops would be good.
