2824. Ms D Kohler-Barnard (DA) to ask the Minister of Police:
In respect of each province, (a) how many SA Police Service (SAPS) members
do not have driving licences and (b) what are the ranks of these SAPS
members?
NW3288E
REPLY:
a) and (b) The South African Police Service has embarked upon a process of
validating the driverâs licences of all members against E-NATIS to
eliminate any corruption practices. The updating of personal records with
E-NATIS information was unfortunately met with challenges which needed
PERSAL adjustments and also intervention by National Treasury for system
adjustments to accommodate the new drivers licenceâs codes eg. code 08
with code EB: Preliminary testing to update PERSAL with E-NATIS
information was done and it is expected that information with regard to
the drivers licences will be available during the beginning of November
2011. The required information will be available once the aforementioned
process has been finalized.
