Deputy Speaker, of course, this will also be directed to the Minister of State Security because neither the Minister of Police nor his Deputy has graced us with their presence today!
I fear the Minister of State Security probably won't know that 5 847 of the 160 000 SAPS officers in our country were the only ones who received training in sexual offences between 2008 and 2011. That's a shocking 3,6%! As there is no point in asking him what the terms of reference in relation to the Ministry of Police are, I will ask him whether this figure - 3,6% of SAPS officers trained - reflects the seriousness with which the government is taking the acts of sexual violence in this country.
