Hon Speaker, the fact of the matter is that many police officers are attacked here in the Western Cape and this is where the high rate of police attacks is. It is not only in the Western Cape, but the higher rate is here. We said that part of what we should all do is to restrain ourselves from uttering reckless statements that would open up police members to further attacks. On that, there would be ... [Interjections.] With regard to that, there would be no need for an apology, except for the fact that we should all restrain ourselves.
As I said, more than 90% of these killings happen when the police respond to a call-out. We have ensured that each and every police officer is provided with protective clothing when they go on a call-out because, in most cases, that is when attacks occur. In some cases, police members die and in other instances they get injured on duty. As I said, in addition to that, we have all the work that has been done since 2011-12 regarding refresher courses on tactical approaches - and the training is continuing - to ensure that they are sound in terms of facing the challenges out there.
