The SA Police Service says it wants to train 10,000 of its members to be first responders in the event of flare-ups similar to last year's violent looting and civil unrest.

The police were heavily criticised last year when civil unrest erupted in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng. being sentenced to 15 months' imprisonment for contempt of court after he failed to appear at the Zondo commission to answer allegations of state capture under his watch as the country's president.

After the violence, KZN premier Sihle Zikalala told a SA Human Rights Commission hearing on the matter that police were not equipped to deal with the unrest. “They had no resources to deal with the public disorder, like water cannons, stun grenades. With water cannons, in fact, I can attest we were engaging with police, and they had made it clear that they did not have enough equipment,” said Zikalala, adding that they were not trained for such unrest.

If they cannot be chooses who joins SAPS WHERE IN THE WORLD WILL THIS EFFORT SUCCEED. IS THIS JUST ANOTHER RUSE FOR CORRUPTION?

100 % especially unemployed youth can be deployed in the borders to curb illegal crossing and recover stolen vehicles that have been reported crossing the borders

Who actually said this? Perhaps they should recruit from Cuba which is the country of choice

They only wake up now this sounds very strange to me Bbbbwwwwaaak Araam S. A

Lmfao

Just last week they said they are ready.. jikijiki they still want to train people 🤷🏾‍♂️

Tender theft loading…….

It's been 6 months since the unrest. This should be in progress not a pipeline dream.

To SAY and to DO are completely different things.

😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡

In other words, a reactive response. Rather they should be looking for pro-active methods to prevent the destruction, mayhem and instability.

They should get those who trained in the military's.

I wonder what the stellenbosch mafia up to 🤔🤔🤔

Good enough number to do a mass deportation of illegal foreign nationals first. We can have a rule of law in this country if you know where people are from, documented and can be accountable.

They must hire people who are between 5 and 500 meters tall, nna I’m tired of seeing short and fat police officers

What happened to amaberete?

Hire new people we've got high rate of youth unemployment in SA beside the SAPS is already over burdened thus failing us

Awu why benqashi more police, mhlampe baqashe nama x looters

Who's idea is this if it's from one of the top cops must dismissed he/she is not fit to be on that position. This was supposed to be done long ago even the response to the July unrest was rotten. 🤦🏽‍♂️South Africa
