This morning I met with Senior Western Cape SAPS Management and discussed the matter of allegations concerning the Provincial Commissioner in the media over the last week, which has caused concern about the effect these allegations are having on policing.
The Western Cape Police Commissioner, General Arno Lamoer, was not present at this meeting, however this morning a delegation of his deputy commissioners have assured me that:
- the SAPS organisation is stable;
- policing on the ground continues unaffected and;
- a good management system is in place to ensure continued stability.
I will, in terms of my police oversight mandate, continue to monitor this situation.
