Deputy Speaker, the ANC proceeds from the premise that a better life for all also means an improvement in the safety and security of our citizens where they live and work. The Department of Police is setting up three new emergency call centres in Mpumalanga to improve the security of our citizens who live in that part of the country.
The new centres are aimed at improving efficiency and ensuring a quick response and dispatching of police officers to where they are needed. All three centres will run 24 hours a day and will be managed by dedicated and highly trained staff.
The ANC, working together with our people, will persist in ensuring that the fight against crime is intensified through the introduction of measures that will assist in reducing current levels of crime. I thank you. [Applause.]
