Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that Tonga Police station in Kumasi, Mpumalanga is left without capacity because police officers resign, get transferred and other
police officers die and are not replaced by the police force;
2) recognises that the Tonga police station used to have capacity of detectives and visible policing members;
3) further recognises that when Tonga police station had full capacity, crime rate in Tonga Kamaqhekeza and block B was very low and now it's getting higher;
4) acknowledges that for South Africa to fight crime especially gender based violence against women and children, our police stations must maintain capacity according to the approved resource allocation guide that is the Rag, to ensure that all police stations are fully capacitated and operational; and
5) resolves that the House must receive a special quarterly report from the portfolio committee of
police on the state of police stations in the country. I so move
Agreed to.
