    Ms D Kohler-Barnard 18 Jun 2013 hansard

    Hon Chairperson, the DA will not support this budget because of the Marikana Massacre; Mido Macia; Andries Tatane; a court interpreter being dragged by the neck; the SA Police Service members filmed, brutally assaulting civilians; 153 SAPS stations without water, electricity, toilets or all three; SAPS members locked out as leases lapse; the Special Investigations Unit, SIU's, investigation into the two national police days; seven multimillion rand contracts currently under investigation; a failure to reopen the specialised unit closed by the disgraced Jacky Selebi - felon Jacky Selebi who is at home in his mansion, still owing taxpayers R14 million; a third appointment of a nonpolice officer to act as National Police Commissioner; and the failure to demilitarise the SAPS as per the National Development Plan, NDP, instruction.

    The SA police also had to set aside 32,8% - that's R20,5 billion - of the budget to pay for the contingent liabilities we expect to pay to civilians raped, beaten and robbed by cops; the Guptagate; paying R4 million to consultants; zero dismissals for the 13 000 lost SAPS firearms; R96 million per annum to send cops to South Sudan and Darfur; the multimillion rands automatic vehicle location, AVL, SAPS car tracking system contract lapsing because Bheki Cele signed the renewal three days after it expired; reservists turned away from SAPS' door since 2008; 20% of detectives untrained, just 3% of cops trained in sexual offenses; 27 000 cops with firearms, but no licenses and 16 594 cops without driver's licenses. In five years there will be no rhinos left at our Kruger National Park.

    These are just a few of the reasons why the DA will not support the handing over of this budget to the current SAPS management. [Applause.]
