If the status quo concerning appointments of SAPS leadership remains unchanged, we will see more cadre deployment by the ANC.  It seems the ANC does not want the SAPS to function properly, because then they will be exposed for the far reaching and massive corruption they have been involved in as the ruling party. The SAPS, especially members who risk their lives daily combatting crime, deserves leadership with integrity, something the ANC cadres are deprived of.

Action Society feels very strongly that an independent committee of policing experts must be appointed to manage the employment of top SAPS officials.  This committee should be made up of individuals that understand what it means to work through the ranks but also have the necessary theoretical knowledge in order to determine who should be the National Commissioner, deputy commissioner, divisional commissioners, their deputies and other top provincial  positions.
