Since discussing
this matter a week or so ago, the specific thing that we said
officials must explore is a system in the public service. Because we are concerned about public service in the main. There must explore possibilities of us having a system that identifies people who have criminal records or who accumulates this criminal records. At the moment we admit, we don't have such a system.
We even went on to say maybe we also need to work with courts because we learnt that courts do sometimes have profiles on persons against whom they have been findings and we need to work closely with them. But we then said as the DPSA we need to explore this possibility. It is something that is concerning to us as well just like you and we are working towards that. Surely, we should update you as soon as we are making headways on this, but I am convinced just like you are that we can't leave this gap as it is because when it happens again we would then say ...

Siyamangala futhi. Bese sithi angazi, angazi. Sizokwazi manje.

We are moving towards that. Thank you.
