Chairperson, I wholly agree with the member. It is one of the issues which we are considering and trying to address. I don't want to dwell too much on the issue of wellness and fitness within the Police Service but we are looking into that. Because we are talking about a very large institution or organisation that could spread all over the country, we have to make sure that in all corners of South Africa our members will be able to get that particular service.
If you look at the current situation, if we have to enter into discussions and negotiations, we must also consider that there are outskirt areas. Our members in those areas need also to get such facilities. We are looking into that. We hope in about a year or two or by the end of next year we will have managed to strike some arrangement with various fitness clubs where our members can participate at a reasonable rate.
Position regarding possible merger of Judicial Service Commission and Magistrate's Commission
139. Kgoshi M L Mokoena (ANC) asked the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Development:
(1) Whether it is necessary to have the Judicial Services Commission separate from the Magistrates' Commission; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details;
(2) whether it will serve a good purpose to combine the two commissions into one entity; if not, what will the problem be; if so, when can this be expected to happen?CO1788E
