Hon Chair, we have made a number of varied interventions insofar as our efforts to professionalise the SA Police Service, SAPS, are concerned In fact, the publication of the two White Papers, that is, the White Paper on Police as well as the White Paper on Safety and Security, will also serve as a platform that must enrich the discussion and debate in our society on this particular effort.
The White Paper on Police, for instance, has to assist us with ensuring that we have an accountable, professional and competent police service as well as focusing on the level of the skilling of our Police Service.
Of course, I have alluded to the issues of the four pillars of the National Development Plan, NDP, insofar as issues of professionalisation, demilitarisation and all other points of emphasis, including the question of enhancing community participation, are concerned.
The White Paper on Safety and Security will also serve as a platform from which to assist the criminal justice cluster as a whole; for instance, in the creation of the co-ordination structures at the local, provincial and national levels to assist both our legislative and administrative work in the execution of this particular function. Thank you very much.
