Enkosi Sekela Somlomo, Bab'uNdlovu yiyo lo nto siye sayitshintsha inkqubo esenza ngayo. [Thank you, Deputy Speaker, and Mr Ndlovu. That is the reason we decided to change our strategy.]
You know, previously, when we recruited for the police, we said driver's licence and Standard 10, and that was all. If you were fit, you could join the police. However, we changed that strategy. You are aware that we changed the strategy two to three years ago and placed emphasis on community involvement because ...
...sayisoyika ukuba ... [... we were afraid that ...]
... if you came to us and applied to become a police officer, we only looked at your fitness, your Standard 10 certificate and driver's licence, only to discover that you were already in the system - ukuthi siphethe isigwinta apha [that we have a crook here] - because we didn't know where this person came from. Hence, we are saying that the communities must play a key role because this child is from a community. Therefore, churches, communities and everybody should be part of recruitment, so that we recruit the right people into our system.
