Analysis: SAPS/SITA capture: The continuing mess around firearms and exhibit control systems – a systemic threat to South Africa By Marianne Thamm MarianneThamm
Standing Committee on Public Accounts committee members, as well as Minister of Police Bheki Cele, pointed out in May 2018 the considerable threat to the national security of a private sole supplier having the power to disable the state’s crime-fighting capacity.
Writing to the SAPS legal division in February 2019, National Commissioner, Khehla Sitole, stated that Keating had approached “this office with an offer to procure the software solutions”, in other words for SAPS to purchase the intellectual property from FDA. It’s a hot mess and it may just turn out that the SAPS have owned what they have been paying for all along.
SITA is insisting that SAPS be subjected to a “technical and financial due diligence process and the results will be provided to SAPS by close of business on 5 April 2019”, Khan informed Sitole.In March 2019, FDA had proposed that “an interim payment be made to it with regard to invoices submitted for services rendered from November 2017 to March 2018”.
Meyer, a career cop, was catapulted through the ranks in an attempt to place more women in senior SAPS leadership positions. Banie was an advance specialist LAN Consultant to SAPS while Rachel was part of SITA’s infrastructure provision. A network of former SAPS and SITA employees have built considerable business empires, doing business with the state and SAPS in particular.
The dispute with regard to the ownership of the IP goes to the heart of this matter that has held SAPS and the country hostage, clearly on more than one occasion.
