5 BUDGET PLANNING TOOLS Strategic Plan sets out departmental policy priorities, projects and programmes over a 5 year period. Annual Performance Plan sets out what the Department is going to do over the upcoming financial year and during the MTEF to implement its Strategic Plan. Budget sets out what funds are allocated to deliver projects and programs and are linked to the strategic plan and annual performance plans 5

6 SECTORAL OVERVIEW SNAP PROFILE: SAPS Budget : R-Billion 197 946 employees (199 039 allocated posts) 1Nascom, 3 Deputies, 11 Divisional Commissioners, 9 PC’s 51 713 vehicles 1134 police stations across the country 5 key programmes : Administration, Visible Policing, Detectives, Crime Intelligence, Protection and Security Services 6 2012/132013/142014/152016/17 68 79172 50776 54181 682

7 KEY ISSUES : SAPS NDP proposals for changing SAPS: – Strengthen the Criminal Justice System – Make the police service professional – Demilitarise the police service – Build safety using an integrated response – Build community participation in community safety Increasing Reports of Police Brutality Legal Matters: – DPCI Legislation – Khayelitsha Commission of Inquiry – Farlam Commission of Inquiry into the Marikana Massacre Corruption and Criminality in SAPS Leadership changes in SAPS 7

8 KEY ISSUES: SAPS Supply Chain Management: TETRA Project investigation to be finalised SAPS materially underspent its budget by 0.4% ( R232 million) Inability of SAPS to complete its building project targets on time Buildings and other fixed structures received a budget of R1.2 billion but has only spent R354 million (28.7 %) by the end of the third quarter. Slow spending within Integrated Justice System Programme: Modernisation (IJS) showed very low expenditure of 30.3 % at the end of the third quarter The Department did not reach its intended target of establishing 980 Victim Friendly Rooms (VFRS) and only established 925 by the end of March 2013. 8

9 KEY ISSUES : SAPS There was a lack of reliability of information for the AGSA to verify the reliability of achievement in 24% of illicit drug seizures and 34% of illicit liquor confiscated. The detection rates for serious crimes were not achieved. The processing by the Forensic Science Laboratories and the expected renewed backlog as a result of the new DNA legislation Crime Intelligence: the attainment of targets does not translate to effective police detection of crime, especially violent crime. Security clearances was a major issue that requires follow up by the incoming committee as program managers were unable to indicate how many members had renewed their security clearances. The Committee to look at Semi-official funds which was used to fund the establishment of the Paarl University. 9

10 KEY ISSUES : SAPS IJS/CJS revamp: the implementation of the e-docket system has not shown the desired results and the monitoring of this system must be a priority of the Committee. The Resource and Allocation Guide should be reviewed and compiled with the research conducted by the National Civilian Secretariat for Police. The Committee should address issues relating to the findings of the Police Inspectorate. Restructuring and changes in the senior management echelon has occurred without consultation and the Committee should keep an eye on such developments. 10

11 KEY ISSUES: CIVILIAN SECRETARIAT FOR POLICE The Civilian Secretariat for Police became a designated department in April 2014 and must account separately. The tabling of the new SAPS Act review is overdue and awaited The legislation establishing the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI) is subject of matter of a Constitutional Court challenge which will be heard in August 2014. Under expenditure of the Secretariat is something that should be monitored as in its 2012/13 Annual Report, the Secretariat reported an under-expenditure of 33% or R20, 008 million. The Secretariat is undertaking research into the Resource Allocation Guide (RAG) and those finding should be made available to SAPS prior to the new RAG being finalised. 11

12 KEY ISSUES: CIVILIAN SECRETARIAT FOR POLICE The Secretariat should also fill its vacancies in order for them to finalise the required legislation. The Secretariat should provide the Committee with the sites where 44 Community Safety Forums have been established. 12

13 KEY ISSUES: PRIVATE SECURITY INDUSTRY REGULATORY AUTHORITY The PSIRA received a qualified financial audit for the 2012/13 financial year from the Auditor- General. The entity also ended the financial year with a deficit and this has raised questions about its ability to operate as a going concern. The current liabilities exceed the current assets by R4. 339 million and PSIRA have an accumulated deficit of R2.148 million. The AG report indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the public entity’s ability to operate as a going concern. Irregular expenditure of R7.7 million was incurred in 2012/13 which is a large increase from the previous year and was largely related to PSIRA not following the prescripts of the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA). Material losses to the amount of R53. 006 million (2012: R82 487 million) were reported as a result of write-off of irrecoverable trade receivables. 13

14 KEY ISSUES: INDEPENDENT POLICE INVESTIGATIVE DIRECTORATE One of the more serious issues for the IPID is the under-spending of its budget by R 26 million, despite the department requesting and receiving a 28% increase on its main appropriation. A second major issue relates to the contingent liability of the IPID on its previous head office lease. It owes R11 million to a company (K. Sons) and the matter remains unresolved. The fact that SAPS is showing an increase in brutality is a real test for IPID to ensure that SAPS members comply with the standing orders and the national instructions. A review of the legal services programme must be undertaken and the Committee should monitor its progress. The Systemic Corruption Strategic document of the IPID should be made available to the Committee for comment. 14
