Deputy Speaker, I thank the hon member for the question. The National Commissioner, B H Cele, was appointed on 1 August 2009 as head of the Department of Police. In terms of chapter 4 of the performance management and development system, the national commissioner has three months in which to sign his performance agreement.
The performance agreement for the national commissioner has been developed and is based on the strategic plan of the SAPS, performance agreements signed by the previous national commissioner and acting national commissioner and the performance management and development system.
The agreement is in the process of being finalised and some amendments may be made based on the outcome of the recent SAPS strategic management planning. This agreement will be finalised within the next three weeks. Once this agreement is finalised the national commissioner will develop and implement performance management agreements for the SAPS senior management.
The performance agreement for the secretary of police was developed for a fixed-term period in line with the fixed-term contract signed by the secretary of police herself. The performance agreement is based on the performance management and development system as well as the policy guidelines developed for re-engineering the restructuring of the secretariat of police.
The agreement was signed on 1 September 2009. The secretariat is currently involved in a restructuring exercise and revision of their five-year strategic plan. Based on the outcome of these processes, performance management agreements will be signed with all senior management of the secretariat.
The executive director of the Independent Complaints Directorate, ICD, Mr F Beukman, was appointed on 7 August 2009 and, as with the national commissioner, Mr Beukman's performance agreement is in the process of being finalised. Mr Beukman's agreement is based on the performance management and development system, the policy guidelines on the restructuring of the ICD and the 2008 parliamentary portfolio committee's recommendations on the functioning of the ICD.
The agreement will be finalised by 7 November 2009. Once this agreement is finalised, the executive director will develop and implement performance agreements for all senior managers of the ICD. I thank you.
