The South African
Police Service have been deteriorating at a neck-break speed since 1994 from a
once well and organized disciplined protection force – to one of the
biggest governmental funded criminal syndicates in Africa. Today the rot and
decay runs ten thousand deep. Many cases have been reported of police
brutality, rapes, murders, corruption, bribery, cash heists, gun smuggling,
assault and other criminal actions by so-called members of the
South African police.
Notorious
Police commissioner- Jacki Selebi- first of a line of commissioners jailed for
corruption and received “medical
parole” by Jacob Zuma.
Today
reality in South Africa dictates that the public is in much safer hands and
receive a much better service and faster response from private security
companies – than the so-called police themselves. The general public have a
bigger chance of being harmed , abused and killed by the South African police
than by common criminals. It appears that not only the communist ANC
regime- but also it’s “strong arm” are waging a war against it’s disarmed
citizens. In recent years, the South African Police Service (SAPS) has come
under the spotlight due to the increasing number of incidents in which
civilians have been assaulted or even killed by the police. Cases such as the
August 2012 killing of 34 mineworkers in Marikana in the North
West province, the death of Mido Macia after being dragged behind a police van
in Daveyton in Gauteng province, and the ruthless March 2014 assault on Clement
Emekeneh in Cape Town (4) are just the tip of the iceberg of
the ever escalating brutality of the SAPS.The police force provides a prime
example of the violence that is so prevalent in South Africa. Numerous
incidents of police brutality have been highly publicized in local and
international media.
Award-winning
Wits Justice Project senior journalist Carolyn Raphaely observes, vis-à-vis
the SAPS, that “an
entrenched culture of impunity, with little regard for consequence or
culpability, indicates that South Africa has learnt little from the lessons of
the past.” Assault, torture, beatings, as well as killings have
become part and parcel of the modus operandi of the SAPS. Although legislation does
not condone police brutality, Raphaely reveals that police officers involved in
brutality and human rights violations are rarely brought to book.
According to her, “Only one conviction was obtained in 217 deaths allegedly at the
hands of the police or in police custody, as investigated by the directorate in
Gauteng in 2011/12.”
