The plan includes clamping down on illegal mining and other serious crimes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe SAPS has established specialised units to work with business, private security, state owned enterprises to tackle illegal mining, the construction mafia, cable theft, vandalism of economic infrastructure and gender-based violence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mashatile said police minister Bheki Cele also announced that recruits are being enlisted to increase the capacity of the police with 10,000 new trainees graduating with more joining in the next financial years, bringing the total number to 30,000 new police officers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA total of 1,000 of the newly recruited personnel have been ring-fenced to increase the capacity of public order policing (POP), who by the end of October this year received an additional 4,000 members resulting from this recruitment drive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mashatile said he had confidence in Cele, his deputy and the national commissioner and all the officers right to the lowest ranking officers.<\/p>\n<p>He said the police have been working with municipal police in an integrated manner and not in silos.

From time to time you may have challenges as we deal with implementation for everyone who adorns the uniform of the police who is not properly trained, and sometimes they deal with difficult matters out there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mashatile added he was confident the police would continue to follow the law and in instances where they don\u2019t, there would be consequences. \u201cThey know that if they don\u2019t behave in a manner that is lawful, they will face consequences as required by the law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The deputy president said in his meeting with Ramaphosa, Cele briefed them on the capacity problem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, let\u2019s put in the specialised units to face these challenges, there are armed robberies around the country, burglaries, gender-based violence and illegal mining. So the specialised units are being formed and are given training and necessary support and equipment to use.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said the police should also be equipped with high-tech equipment so they are ahead of criminals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-africa\">South-Africa<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
