OPINION: Professionalise the police and start with its leaders | zakhelembhele

Due to the secretive nature of its work and the large amounts of money that SAPS Crime Intelligence works with, the importance of professional leadership in this policing environment cannot be overstated, writesThe state of systemic dysfunction that has plagued the SAPS Crime Intelligence Division for at least a decade – which we have come to call"Crime-Intelligence-in-Crisis" – is an issue that the DA has long driven in a sustained effort to highlight the problem and call attention...

These are the crimes that we all fear on a daily basis because they entail direct violations of our property and person: carjackings, house and business robberies and burglaries, street robberies and theft of/out of motor vehicles.

Mdluli's tenure was characterised by alleged high-level corruption and fraud and plunged the police into disarray. A litany of misconduct allegations was pointed at him. From nepotism and misuse of state resources to use of crime intelligence for political partisan ends, including buying influence and access in ANC factional battles.

According to Dr Johan Burger of the ISS,"Generally speaking…the police's ability to generate crime intelligence has deteriorated to the extent that criminals no longer fear to be identified and prosecuted so that creates space for organised criminal groups to act almost freely throughout the country…".
