FRIDAY BRIEFING | Broken: SA s crime fighting crisis as budget cuts start to bite

In our crime-ridden country, can we afford to have our crime-fighting units budgets cut? We often hear that there are two certainties in this life - death and taxes. I am going to add that if you live in South Africa, there is another certainty - crime.  We ve all either seen it or experienced it or know someone who has been the victim of crime. Each day we get to hear just how far up corruption and crime goes as testimony from the Zondo Commission plays out on our television screens. The last thing we want to hear is that funding to our country s law enforcement agencies is being curtailed. But that is exactly what is happening. 

OPINION | Police criminality and corruption put South Africans at risk

Theodore Petrus Share A member of the South African Police Service (SAPS) stands guard in the street at a vehicle checkpoint in Parklands to enforce the lockdown regulations. (Roger Sedres/Gallo Images) Corruption and criminality in the highest ranks of the police, whether proven or alleged, have serious consequences, both of which seriously impact on the safety and security of South African citizens, writes  Theodore Petrus. If the latest crime stats issued by the Ministry of Police are anything to go by, it should be clear to most of us that a chaotic police and crime intelligence service cannot fulfil its mandate of adequately addressing crime in the country.
