2589. Ms D Kohler-Barnard (DA) to ask the Minister of Police:
(1) Whether a certain person (name and details furnished) has a criminal
record; if so,
(2) whether the personâs criminal record has been recorded on the
criminal record database; if not, why not; if so, when?
NW3004E
REPLY:
It is not the practice of SAPS to make public criminal records checks
unless a set of finger prints are taken and the criminal record verified
against the said identity number. The reason for this is to ensure complete
accuracy of information made public.
