Recruitment Campaign Commenced with new recruitment drive in October 2006 Deployed new technology (automated recruitment system) and brought in 20 additional human resources on contract basis to speed up response handling Objectives were to reduce vacancy rate and increase personnel spending Started slowly by handling 468 CV’s in 1st week of campaign, growing to 5275 in 2nd week, 8796 in 3rd week and 15261 in weeks 4 & 5 In November 2006, 30 375 applications were received and all were scanned and captured for interview purposes within 6 weeks In January 2007, 17 296 applications were received and 11 410 were scanned and captured
Recruitment Cont. Recruitment Drive Targets / Objectives Filling of 1374 current vacancies Implementation of an automated recruitment system Streamlined recruitment and appointment processes Enhancement of Aspirant Prosecutor programme Recruitment Drive Progress / Highlights Eradication of “backlogged” appointments during November 2006 (380) Nov 2006 Campaign Applications related to 700 vacancies (30 300 Applications processed) Short listing & Interviews taking place January 2007 Campaign Applications related to 250 vacancies (24 000 Applications processed) Short listing and Interviews Scheduled Automated recruitment system – First phase implementation completed Appointments made since November 2006: November 101; December 115; Jan 61; February 26; March 129 (aspirant prosecutors only)
“Revolving Door” Syndrome Whilst over 400 appointments made since November 2006, more than 80% of these consisted of internal promotions Every appointment creates a further vacancy & recruitment challenge Need new approach to grow overall size of the establishment Aspirant prosecutor/learnership (SAPS strategy) Current approach has also increased average cost per personnel due to increased number of senior appointments
Magistrates’ Salaries Salary disparities between prosecutors and magistrates continue to present a major challenge Regional Magistrate now earns R458 813 compared to C5 prosecutor who earns R151 173 and D1 prosecutor who earns R196 503) Over last three years have lost 112 senior prosecutors (45 in 04/05; 21 in 05/06 and 43 in 06/07) to the magistracy Senior Prosecutors constitute 80% of new magistrates appointed

Communications Results of a brand audit, December 2006: Strengths: innovative, cutting-edge crime resolutions tactics Weaknesses: mostly internal staff-related issues NPA should be professional, efficient, unbiased, independent, fair, sensitive, honest and accountable Stakeholders generally expected NPA “personality” to be fearless, stealthy and powerful and wise, understanding and caring Inconsistent and confusing application of the logo Now on 2nd phase: developing a brand strategy for the organisation.
