The Minister is duty-bound to ensure that the Police Service does exactly that - serves and protects those who reside within our borders. Instead, the Minister's tenure has been marked by the return of an apartheid-era militarised and ranked police force which not only shoots to kill at the slightest provocation but is increasingly marked by a systemic and endemic culture of criminality and corruption.
The Minister has clearly failed, through his three-year-long track record of inaction and his political responsibility for casting our country into the depths of one of the greatest national crises of postapartheid South Africa. This Minister must go. He must resign, failing which the President must relieve him of his duties. Never again, Marikana! [Time expired.] [Applause.]
