Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The South African Police Service (SAPS) has promoted 11 364 officers to higher ranks in a bid to promote morale and enhance service delivery.<\/p>\n

Some of the promotions date as far back as April.<\/p>\n

National commissioner General Fannie Masemola announced at a media briefing on Friday that, of the 11 364, a total of 7 694 members had been promoted from the ranks of Constable to Sergeant and Sergeant to Warrant Officer.<\/p>\n

“The promotion of members on the grassroots level of policing is part of the organisation’s Human Capital Investment Strategy, which aims to boost the morale and well-being of members,” Masemola said.<\/p>\n

Some of the appointments were of senior managers in key positions, such as the Divisional Commissioner for Technology Management Service (TMS) and Crime Intelligence (CI).<\/p>\n

Major General Dumisani Khumalo has been appointed Divisional Commissioner for Crime Intelligence at the rank of Lieutenant General from 1 December 2022.<\/p>\n

He joined the police in 1991 as a student constable and has served within the Operational Response Services (ORS) and Crime Intelligence for the past 26 years.<\/p>\n

Masemola said:<\/p>\n

Major General Edith Mavundla has been appointed Divisional Commissioner for Technology Management Service at the rank of Lieutenant General.<\/p>\n

Police spokesperson Brigadier Athlenda Mathe said these announcements preceded the welcoming of 10 000 newly trained police officers who had completed the nine-month Basic Police Development Learning Programme on Tuesday at various SAPS Training Academies.<\/p>\n
