The SA Police Service is endangering the lives of its employees by allowing its workers of the Central Firearm Register (CFR) to continue working in the Veritas building which does not meet all the safety requirements.

“The committee said it was unacceptable for SAPS to allow officials to continue working in an unsafe environment, and committed SAPS to prioritise the matter and engage with the department of public works to have the matter resolved,” he added.

The committee had on Saturday conducted an oversight visit to the premises to get an update on the backlog at the DNA laboratory and updates on the firearms control register.In 2019, TimesLIVE reported that years after buying the Telkom Towers, which were to be used as the new headquarters of the SAPS, police were yet to occupy the buildings.
