Spokesperson Richard Mamabolo said the current danger allowance per month for police officers was R400, correctional services R477 and R439 for traffic officials. Mamabolo said they regularly witnessed correctional services officials being stabbed to death in the line of duty, and police and traffic officials being killed.

Mamabolo said that over and above an increase to the danger allowances, Popcru was calling for the inclusion of “danger insurance”, among others.The current danger allowances are far too small as compared to the far greater daily dangers associated with the work they do.”
