(1) In view of the statement by the Premier of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) during the SA Human Commission hearings that the SA Police Service (SAPS) in KZN do not have adequate resources to deal with public disorder, following the accusations that SAPS in KZN failed to avert and manage the mass looting and riots that took place in the province in July 2021, what is his department’s plan to address the lack and shortage of resources within the SAPS;
(2) whether he has found that other provinces in the Republic are in a similar situation with regard to a lack of resources and might find themselves incapable of averting and managing the same and/or similar incidents of unrest; if not, what is the position in this regard, if so, what are the relevant details?
