Deputy Speaker, on subsection (1) of Question 48, the answer is as follows. Yes, the Tshwane Academy is an institution of the SA Police Service, SAPS, which accommodates approximately 1 900 trainees at any given time.
There are college orders for running an institution and these are used at all SAPS academies, and not at the Tshwane Academy only. While trainees are still in training at these academies, they are allowed to visit their families every two months. All trainees sign a memorandum of agreement in regard to conditions of training and service.
The trainees at all colleges graduated on 1 March 2013, except for two colleges, Philippi and Oudtshoorn, which had theirs on 26 and 28 February 2013 respectively.
All academies have bungalows where the trainees are accommodated, and which are constantly monitored in regard to cleanliness and hygienic appearance.
With regard to subsection (2) of Question 48, all academies are managed in accordance with the college orders and the requirements of the programme. I would like to stress the fact that SAPS colleges are not like other normal colleges, such as nursing colleges. They are run in terms of the orders which have been issued for running such colleges. I thank you very much.
