Question No 54
Ms D Kohler-Barnard Democratic Alliance (DA) to ask the Minister of Police:
(a) What was the breakdown per month of state expenditure on VIP protection and other security for President Jacob Zuma since his dismissal as Deputy President in June 2005 up to the latest specified date for which information is available and (b) how much in the same period of time has been spent on security for former (i) President Mandela, (ii) President Mbeki, (iii) Executive Deputy President De Klerk (v) Deputy President Mlambo-Ngcuka?
Reply:
Information relating to expenditure incurred in the deployment of personnel in the protection of the President, former Presidents, the Deputy President, Ministers and members of Provincial Executive Councils at their residences and workplaces, is confidential and may not be disclosed, to prevent their safety from being compromised. The South African Police Service is therefore not in a position to disclose information of this nature.
