Opposition parties question the slashing of the budget of the Hawks by millions of rand when the VIP Protection Services budget was not severely cut

Cape Town - Deputy Minister of Police Cassel Mathale has defended the budget of the VIP Protection Service, which provides security for Ministers, Premiers and other dignatories as taking priority against the budget of the Hawks.

This was after the EFF and DA on Thursday questioned the slashing of the budget of the Hawks by millions of rand when the VIP Protection Services budget was not severely cut."I don't think it's correct to say that the VIP is meant for politicians. It's meant for all those who require protection, the judiciary, the foreign dignatories including major events we host as a country. The monies are meant for that.
