8. KEY ISSUES: SAPS • Supply Chain Management: TETRA Project investigation to be finalised • SAPS materially underspent its budget by 0.4% ( R232 million) • Inability of SAPS to complete its building project targets on time • Buildings and other fixed structures received a budget of R1.2 billion but has only spent R354 million (28.7 %) by the end of the third quarter. • Slow spending within Integrated Justice System Programme: Modernisation (IJS) showed very low expenditure of 30.3 % at the end of the third quarter • The Department did not reach its intended target of establishing 980 Victim Friendly Rooms (VFRS) and only established 925 by the end of March 2013.

9. KEY ISSUES : SAPS • There was a lack of reliability of information for the AGSA to verify the reliability of achievement in 24% of illicit drug seizures and 34% of illicit liquor confiscated. • The detection rates for serious crimes were not achieved. • The processing by the Forensic Science Laboratories and the expected renewed backlog as a result of the new DNA legislation • Crime Intelligence: the attainment of targets does not translate to effective police detection of crime, especially violent crime. • Security clearances was a major issue that requires follow up by the incoming committee as program managers were unable to indicate how many members had renewed their security clearances. • The Committee to look at Semi-official funds which was used to fund the establishment of the Paarl University.

10. KEY ISSUES : SAPS • IJS/CJS revamp: the implementation of the e-docket system has not shown the desired results and the monitoring of this system must be a priority of the Committee. • The Resource and Allocation Guide should be reviewed and compiled with the research conducted by the National Civilian Secretariat for Police. • The Committee should address issues relating to the findings of the Police Inspectorate. • Restructuring and changes in the senior management echelon has occurred without consultation and the Committee should keep an eye on such developments.

11. KEY ISSUES: CIVILIAN SECRETARIAT FOR POLICE • The Civilian Secretariat for Police became a designated department in April 2014 and must account separately. • The tabling of the new SAPS Act review is overdue and awaited • The legislation establishing the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI) is subject of matter of a Constitutional Court challenge which will be heard in August 2014. • Under expenditure of the Secretariat is something that should be monitored as in its 2012/13 Annual Report, the Secretariat reported an under-expenditure of 33% or R20, 008 million. • The Secretariat is undertaking research into the Resource Allocation Guide (RAG) and those finding should be made available to SAPS prior to the new RAG being finalised.

12. KEY ISSUES: CIVILIAN SECRETARIAT FOR POLICE • The Secretariat should also fill its vacancies in order for them to finalise the required legislation. • The Secretariat should provide the Committee with the sites where 44 Community Safety Forums have been established.

13. KEY ISSUES: PRIVATE SECURITY INDUSTRY REGULATORY AUTHORITY • The PSIRA received a qualified financial audit for the 2012/13 financial year from the Auditor- General. • The entity also ended the financial year with a deficit and this has raised questions about its ability to operate as a going concern. • The current liabilities exceed the current assets by R4. 339 million and PSIRA have an accumulated deficit of R2.148 million. The AG report indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the public entity’s ability to operate as a going concern. • Irregular expenditure of R7.7 million was incurred in 2012/13 which is a large increase from the previous year and was largely related to PSIRA not following the prescripts of the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA). • Material losses to the amount of R53. 006 million (2012: R82 487 million) were reported as a result of write-off of irrecoverable trade receivables.

14. KEY ISSUES: INDEPENDENT POLICE INVESTIGATIVE DIRECTORATE • One of the more serious issues for the IPID is the under-spending of its budget by R 26 million, despite the department requesting and receiving a 28% increase on its main appropriation. • A second major issue relates to the contingent liability of the IPID on its previous head office lease. It owes R11 million to a company (K. Sons) and the matter remains unresolved. • The fact that SAPS is showing an increase in brutality is a real test for IPID to ensure that SAPS members comply with the standing orders and the national instructions. • A review of the legal services programme must be undertaken and the Committee should monitor its progress. • The Systemic Corruption Strategic document of the IPID should be made available to the Committee for comment.
