Action Society welcomes with great anticipation the announcement of Ian Cameron’s election as the new chairman of Portfolio Committee on Police. Cameron has an exemplary track record of effective leadership, driven by a passion for change and justice. We have no doubt that under his stewardship, the SAPS will enhance its efforts to combat crime and safeguard our most vulnerable citizens.
“South Africans deserve a police force that acts in their interest, free of political interference and corruption. In recent years, our police force has been in dire straits, with public trust at an all time low, and a soaring violent crime rate that seems to worsen by the day. Now is the chance to turn things around.”
“On behalf of all South Africans, Action Society urges the committee to immediately prioritise addressing the longstanding issues that have plagued the police. This includes the legacy of corruption and mismanagement, the decentralisation of police powers, and the inadequacies in investigative capacity that has denied justice for countless victims of crime,” said Action Society spokesperson Juanita du Preez.
