REPLY:
Yes, the SAPS has put the following measures in place:
The SAPS has revised its Anti-corruption Strategy to ensure compliance in
terms of the Minimum Anti-corruption Capacity requirements (MACC) as
approved by Cabinet. This revision of the Anti-corruption Strategy was
conducted in response to an audit of the extent of compliance with the MACC
as conducted by the Department of Public Service and Administration in
2009/10. The revision of the Strategy has focused specifically on ensuring
the effective implementation of the four pillars of the Strategy, namely:
prevention, detection, investigation and restorative actions by all
Divisions, Provinces and Stations. In order to ensure effective
implementation of the Strategy, specific Anti-corruption Action Plans have
been developed for implementation at Divisional, Provincial and Station
levels, ensuring that all corruption combating initiatives contained in the
Strategy are reflected in the Anti-corruption Action Plans.
