South Africa’s (SA) Acting Police Minister, Firoz Cachalia, has reassured the country that steps are actively underway to tackle the systemic challenges unsettling the SA Police Service (SAPS), including issues currently emerging at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry.
Speaking to the media in Pretoria, Cachalia highlighted that the Ministry is already laying the groundwork for long-term reform while strengthening oversight.
“We have established mechanisms for accountability, and importantly implementation has already begun,” said Cachalia. “Together with our provincial partners, municipalities, communities, and every dedicated member of the SAPS, we’re laying the foundation for a police service that is professional, ethical, intelligence-led, technology-enabled, and firmly rooted in our constitutional values. So, this is the time, even as we watch Madlanga every day, this is the time for the country to look ahead.”
