Hon House Chair, Minister, you said that in the Western Cape we are well-resourced in comparison to the other provinces. I just want to draw your attention to the fact that according to the United Nations, there should be one police officer for every 220 people and in South Africa, it was - in 2017-18 - one police officer for 383 people. Currently, there is one police officer for every 509 people. I do not know how it will then look in the other provinces. Now, would you undertake to investigate and
give us the report specifically maybe to the select committee, when we do oversight visits to police stations, it's repeated, "resources" "resources" "resources." When we ask the questions here in Parliament, you say, "well- equipped" "well-equipped" "well- equipped." Now, Minister, will you please investigate the situation in Bitou that happened three weeks ago where the police were called at four o'clock in the afternoon, at nine o'clock I received a complaint that said nobody came out, nobody. The next week, the following week after that, the colonel, the station commander in Bitou landed in the hospital because the community was so angry because the police do not act. And when you go in there, the police say, "resources" "resources" Will you please investigate so that we can get to the bottom of this problem. Thank you.
