Is there a place for police in the future of South Africa?

South Africa Headlines News

South Africa Latest News, South Africa Headlines

This is according to independent researcher and author Ziyanda Stuurman, who wrote Can We Be Safe? The Future of Policing in South Africa.We would have to create a society in which the average person asserting their right to protest; a sex worker asserting their right to provide for themselves and to work; and communities asserting their housing and land rights won’t be subjected to violence, raids, police brutality or harassment.

Gareth Newham, the head of justice and violence prevention at the Institute for Security Studies, argued that we need to envisage a future South Africa in which we don’t need a large policing and criminal justice capacity because we have addressed the various factors that contribute to our high murder and crime levels.

“The widespread public violence in July brought into stark focus how inadequate the state security apparatus is when it comes to preventing and responding to networks and individuals who seek to cause public harm,” he said.

For what we are not safe even if they are there. All they do is crime.

No, corruption will be legal in future

Not in this current format.

What a dumb question.

This is a dumb question.

Perhaps the headline should read 'is there a place for the myanc and bhekicele_rsa' in SA. Seems their ignorance of crimes within their own ranks is a acceptable thing. Crime has become our heritage under the banner of the ANC. CyrilRamaphosa

As long our borders are wide open forget.Poor police will always be blamed.The deafening silence from their unions is scary.They are in the alliance with the ANC.Why don't they tell ANC to secure our borders?Their members are being killed by Zimbabweans everyday.

It is close to impossible to have a society where all citizens needs are met, it can't happen. Crime is a global phenomenon which can only be minimised. In my layman opinion, we need a capable, professional and well trained police force to maintain law and order.

Total rubbish. Rationale based in ignorance which is on course to destroy this country

'She was speaking on the subject of abolition ... of the current policing system...' She cannot be taken seriously and no political party concerned about crime will support her. Abolition of policing in terms of ss205(3) of the Constitution, 1996 is an absolutely crazy idea.

Question is, is there a place for the inept, corrupt, kleptocratic and kakistocratic ANC regime with it's incompetent police in the future of SA?

SAPS HAS BECOME A CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION RUN BY CRIMINALS FOR CRIMINALS WITH THE ANC GOVERNMENT. B

Abolish police? Well, that didn't take long; seems like the stupidity of the American left has spilled over into South Africa, great👏🏼

They are already replaced by the more active security industry in almost most towns.

Are you guys on drugs?

What for? They were missing during the attempted insuraction and citizens dealt with the criminals.

Damn. That’s a really dumb question. Good job 👍🏻

Yes, but a federal not national service, with better paid and trained officers,capable commanders, preferably with a tertiary education and federal ministers who is are experienced police persons, supported by modern crime fighting technology and top notch forensic capability.

Just mad!! Utter rubbish!!!

Appreciation they say is an application for more. If I fall to acknowledge you Michael_Jeff_ it will shows how ungrateful I am. I can't be less grateful to a man who God has used in blessing me and my family in general, he is 100% guaranteed,trade with him now and thank me later
