The Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) has warned that South Africa’s police force is continuing to see a major decline in service numbers, with the country’s security forces not prepared for the possibility of more riots in the country.
The country’s largest trade federation said state security and law enforcement agencies do not seem to have made any progress or learned any lessons since July 2021’s riots.
Cosatu cautioned that the weak and poorly equipped law enforcement agencies and a stagnant economy continue to be a recipe for another episode of violent disturbance. “ Bheki Cele has demonstrated multiple times that he lacks the skills and temperament to fill his critical position. Ministers unfit for their positions have failed and indulged in gross misconduct with impunity for long enough,” said Jacques Broodryk, campaign manager at AfriForum.
“In addition to the above, 3,000 posts were advertised during the 2021/2022 financial year and the SAPS recruits will undergo training – therefore a total of 10,000 recruits will be trained in 2022,” Cele said.
