More than 5 000 students are currently registered for basic training in South African Police Service's training colleges, Ramaphosa said during his State of the Nation Address on Thursday night.
Ramaphosa's remark was part of his response to complaints from crime-ridden communities across South Africa about a lack of adequate policing. He said the first step is to increase police visibility by employing more police and create a more active role for citizens through effective community policing forums.
"Following intensive consultations and engagements, we are working towards the establishment of the GBV and Femicide Council and a National Strategic Plan that will guide all of us, wherever we are, in our efforts to eradicate this nation scourge," Ramaphosa said.
