Speaker,
Ngithokoze, Mhlonishwa Mongameli. [Thank you, hon President.]
Now I'm taken aback by the comments that the President has made by saying that it's a force. No, it's a service. Adults must be adults, please.
Mr President, first of all, may I ask this question. In your view, is there a difference between police force and police service? Secondly, regarding the training which police officers undergo, to what extent do they incorporate the observation of human rights, because the police service or force, as the President would lead us to believe, has become a law unto itself. I say this obviously understanding that not all police officers are bad, but perceptions in life are everything and we've got a primary responsibility to clean up the image of the police service or force so that we can, at least, begin to inspire confidence in communities that police take to heart the fundamental issues of human rights. Thank you.
