WE are enjoined by the Constitution, the supreme law of the Republic “to prevent, combat and investigate crime, to maintain public order, to protect and secure the inhabitants of the Republic and their property, and to uphold and enforce the law”. In their wisdom, our fathers and mothers also inserted this pearl which calls upon the “Minister of Police to to promote good relations between the police and the community and to assess the effectiveness of visible policing”.

Building a united front against crime and corruption

A pillar of strength, knowledge and intellectual capability in South Africa, Ms Nadine Gordimer passed on a week ago. As a country, we have become poorer.

A fact that says today, the South African Police Service has a good story to tell, as we launch this Special K53 Project.

Speech by the Minister of Police, Mr. Nathi Mthethwa on the handing over of the upgraded Chatsworth police station to SAPS on 16 April 2014.

There has been a police station in Chatsworth since 1965, but the recently completed upgrade was urgently needed to help SAPS best serve the quarter of a million people who live in Chatsworth. It is now a throughly modern police station, well equipped, well-staffed and with good facilities. It is a fine example of our government’s determination  to do everything possible to make South Africa a safe and peaceful place.

Key note address by the Deputy Minister of Police, Ms Makhotso Maggie Sotyu (MP), South African Police Service related complaints Indaba / Dialogue.

When this initiative of a police service related complaints dialogue was first brought to my attention, I immediately marvelled at the Civilian Secretary for Police, Ms Jenny Irish-Qhobosheane, and her entire team for taking the bull by its horns. For, Clause 4(4) of the Civilian Secretariat for the Police Service Act No. 2 of 2011 reads as follows:
 
“The Civilian Secretariat…must exercise its powers and perform its functions without fear, favour or prejudice in the interest of maintaining effective and efficient policing and a high standard of professional ethics in police service”.

Remarks by the Minister of Police, E.N. Mthethwa, MP on the Occasion of the Opening of the Tweefontein Police Station, Tweefontein, Mpumalanga.

We further established a Partnership unit within the Civilian Secretariat for Police so that we formalize these partnerships and cooperative agreements.

Remarks by the Minister of Police, E.N. Mthethwa, MP on the Occasion of the Debate of the Private Security Industry Regulation Amendment Bill [B 27D – 2012](s75) National Assembly, PARLIAMENT.

Remarks by the Minister of Police, Nathi Mthethwa MP at the South African Police Service (SAPS) Public Order Policing conference, Burgers Park Hotel, Pretoria
