Crime fighting in KwaZulu-Natal is being hampered because officers are literally stuck at police stations without vehicles.

On interventions to prevent backlogs at garages, Nkonyeni said: “There is procurement of additional tools for artisans and more advanced power tools, weekly meetings with all garage commanders, end users have been sensitised on how to properly book vehicles into the garages, a new contract will be awarded for the procurement of parts and there will be constant monitoring and evaluating the work done by the garages.

The backlog in repairing vehicles comes after a two-day site visit to police stations by the provincial legislature in February. At the time, committee chairperson Nhlakanipho Ntombela said he was concerned about the time it takes to repair vehicles.Provincial police mechanical head Col Vlammie Rossouw said one reason vehicles are in garages for such long periods for seemingly minor repairs is because of the general shortage of vehicles in police stations.

“A police station with 10 vehicles will use those vehicles 24/7 until they pass the recommended mileage for service. When they eventually take it in for something minor, like body work, we discover other issues it was not booked for, but these must be fixed.”
