SA has not been informed of its citizens requiring evacuation from either Russia or Ukraine, defence and military veterans minister Thandi Modise said on Sunday.
Turning to other matters, Modise spoke at length about the state of the SA National Defence Force, saying there was a commitment to “restoring the integrity of the country’s safety and security machinery that has been eroded by a number of challenges and shortcomings”.
Modise said they were addressing the capacity and resources issues within the security and justice system to ensure the security sector meets the demands of the country. She said nationwide recruitment will increase the strength of SAPS in its mandate to prevent and fight crime in communities. She said ministers are also re-evaluating and assessing the capacity and strength of the intelligence services to undertake surveillance and monitoring of stability in the country.
She said a forensic investigation was initiated and a forensic investigation firm has been appointed to conduct an investigation into all malfeasance in the agency.
