FOREWORD OF THE MEC OF COMMUNITY SAFETY

Gauteng province as the country’s economic hub is undergoing multiple


transitions due to dominant trends such as demographic shifts, climate
change, increasing levels of urbanisation, rapid technological change and
the high levels of crime. It is therefore critical that the policing fraternity
adopts resilient long-term plans and transformative policies that will meet
the needs of the growing populations in an environment where crime
levels are unacceptably high.

Building safer communities remains an apex priority for the Gauteng


Provincial Government. Due to the increase in serious crimes in recent
times, the Department has committed resources for continuous
intelligence gathering, preparedness and responsiveness to all incidents
reported. In line with the Growing Gauteng Together policing plan, it is our
considered view that these crimes can be eradicated if all sectors of society work together.

The Gauteng Provincial Government has established a war room on fighting crime as part of building safer
communities and 5-year Policing Plan. The War Room on crime brings together all spheres of government,
civil society, the private sector and critical stakeholders to ensure that we build a safer Gauteng for all. The
collaboration and sharing of resources between government, private security industry and business should
be encouraged in crime prevention initiatives.

The Department of Community Safety will, through the Growing Gauteng Together 2030 “GGT2030” Plan,
work with the police and communities to ensure a safer Gauteng for all residents and tourists alike. The
Department will strive to bring on board collaborative partners that will work with law enforcement in the
fight against crime and ensure that the impact is felt by the communities.

It is important that the police recruit informants within the Detective Services component. The glaring gaps
in intelligence gathering capacity of the South African Police Services (SAPS) has been exposed during the
2021 large scale looting and unrest. The violent protests resulted in fatalities, injuries and millions of Rands
of damage across the province. During that period, the province relied more on social media as opposed to
Crime Intelligence Gathering institutions for information.

It is for this reason that informer networks be strengthened to gather intelligence and to avert criminal
activities of such nature in future. It is of critical importance that effective communication and closer
cooperation between the police and communities be enhanced. I am delighted that following these
incidents, a contingency plan was put in place to ensure that there is no recurrence of this scale of unrest.
Community Police Forums (CPFs) remain a critical component in the effective implementation of Community
Policing and the fight against crime in the province.

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed stark inequalities to the fore and compound all existing forms of social
injustice, including gender inequality in its various manifestations of which Gender-Based Violence and
Femicide (GBVF) is the most abhorrent. Crimes against women and children remains a priority as the
decrease in these crime categories have not been significant. The Department, as part of GBVF co-ordination,
is continuously strengthening partnership towards elimination of gender-based violence.

8
Gauteng South African Police Service Annual Operational Plan 2022/2023

The Gauteng Provincial Government is delighted that the multi-disciplinary forces of “Operation O Kae
Molao” is continuously making significant strides in the fight against crime in the province. Police have
ensured that criminals have nowhere to hide, this is evident by the number of suspects arrested during the
integrated operations. Going forward the operations must be intensified and strengthened in collaboration
with private security companies.

In conclusion, I would like to thank all law enforcement officers under the watchful eye and guidance of
Gauteng Provincial Police Commissioner, Lieutenant General Elias Mawela, for their commitment in serving
the people of this beautiful province.

Gauteng South African Police Service Annual Operational Plan 2022/2023

INTRODUCTION BY THE PROVINCIAL COMMISSIONER

The 2022/2023 Annual Operational Plan is the third Annual Plan in the
implementation of the SAPS 2020/2025 Strategic Plan. The Strategic Plan is
aligned to the 2019/2024 MTSF

During this financial year my priorities include the following:


 Serious & Violent Crime
 Organised Crime: Effective implementation of the OCTA Process
 Gender Based Violence and Femicide
 Drug-and Human trafficking
 Counter measures to address Corruption
 Community collaboration and participation

During the 2021/2022 financial year, we have achieved numerous successes in the fight against crime. This
was possible through participation and collaboration with other law enforcement agencies in Operation O
Kae Molao, which was taken to a new level during the 2021/2022 financial year where Support Services
Provincial Heads were also expected to address support-related concerns at the relevant Police Station
where the weekly operation is taking place. The focus will continue to be at priority Police Stations to stem
the rise of crime in these areas.

Our relationship with the office of the Premier grows from strength to strength. The generous sponsorship
of vehicles to aid our boots on the ground has already yielded positive results. The Highway Patrol Unit was
reinforced which allowed for the deployment of additional resources at key hotspot areas.

We are venturing into uncharted times with the COVID-19 variants that have plagued us during the past 2
years. The hard lock down forced us to re-evaluate our policing practises and procedures and gave us an
insight into what we would now call the “new normal”

The mandate of the SAPS demands of us to lead the process of securing gatherings and to allow all South
Africans to exercise their democratic right to protest, picket and participate in strike action without any fear
of intimidation or any other forms of criminality. The Looting and civil unrest during July and August 2021
was unprecedented in our young democracy. Our counterparts in the province of Kwa Zulu Natal also faced
the same challenges. We have to be well prepared to address this type of unrest in future to ensure it does
not reach these levels. We are reminded of the fact that together we are stronger and will spare no effort
when it comes to matters of civil unrest.

Our risk assessment processes will be enhanced to ensure that we are proactive in mitigating internal and
external risks. Our aim is to ensure that all members within the province understand the concept in order to
analyse and evaluate the risk associated with any hazard. This will also assist the Province holistically in
mitigating these risks which threatens the achievement of our objectives and seeks to reduce the number of
repeat findings by the Auditor General of South Africa and Internal Audit as well as to reduce civil claims and
improve service delivery.

Commanders at all levels will be held accountable for any dereliction of duty, including those at the lowest
level as this is where audit findings emanate from. The promotion and appointment of a number of new

10
Gauteng South African Police Service Annual Operational Plan 2022/2023

Station Commanders during the 2021/2022 financial year will serve to also strengthen the management
capacity and capability of the Province.

Community engagement has always been a pivotal part of addressing root causes of crime and to this end I
have instructed all SAPS Act members stationed at the Provincial office to adopt a school closest to their
place of residence.

Gauteng has always been the centre of activities in South Africa be it in business or tourism and therefore
we remain steadfast in our commitment in proving a world class service to all the inhabitants as well as its
visitors of our beautiful province. Tourism Safety Plans were developed at all Districts and an approved work
study investigation into the establishment of a Tourism Safety capacity at District level will be implemented.

We need to focus our efforts on reclaiming the streets and making it safer for our women and children.
Gender-based violence (GBV) is one of the most systematic and widespread human rights violations. It
affects people across all ages, socio-economic status, educational and geographic boundaries. It is a major
obstacle to ending gender inequality and discrimination globally and an indictment on us as a society and as
law enforcement, it is our moral and constitutional duty to ensure that this scourge is rooted out.

Crime itself has evolved as criminals try new and ingenuous ways to commit crime. We remain resolute in
bringing these criminals to book. Technology has become a crime fighting tool on which we rely on heavily
as part of e-policing in line with the Growing Gauteng Together (GGT) Policing Plan.

Corruption remains a thorn in our side and in order to ensure that we overcome this, we have put measures
in place to ensure that integrity prevails amongst our ranks.

The appointment of a new Deputy Provincial Commissioner responsible for Crime Detection in the Province
as well as Provincial Heads in the environments of Organised Crime and Family Violence, Child Protection
and Sexual Offences (FCS) will enhance the energy, vigour and leadership necessary to elevate the detective
performance in the Province to a higher level.

As law enforcement, we should remember the following when it comes to crime fighting: “The people who
were trying to make this world worse are not taking the day off. Why should I?” – Bob Marley.

2. SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS
The South African Police Service in Gauteng operates in the context that requires an analysis of both the
internal and external environments within which it functions. Among our roles is not only to identify internal
challenges, but also to leverage opportunities presented to achieve its mandate.

The Provincial Management of Gauteng and other Law Enforcement Agencies as well as the Chairperson of
the Provincial Community Policing Board and delegates from the Department of Community Safety
convened for an Annual Planning session from 29th November to 1st December 2021. The purpose of this
exercise was to have deliberations concerning Output Indicators, Action Steps as well as to identify risks for
the compilation of the Annual Operational Plan and Risk Register for the 2022/2023 financial year. Attendees
were divided into three commissions aligned with the three Financial Programmes, ensuring that subject
experts at all levels form a part of the solution. This includes setting measurable targets with specific
timeframes, outlining key policy trade-offs and setting out the sequence of activities required in achieving
such objectives, whilst understanding that policing has to evolve within the “new normal”.

2.1 EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT

The Safer Cities Framework, which is expected to be finalised in 2022, provides an overarching strategy for
adopting a collaborative approach to strengthening safety and security in Gauteng. SAPS in Gauteng has
recognised that functioning CPF’s are central to the successful implementation of the framework as these
forums provide a critical interface between the police at local level and the communities they serve.

The Safer Cities Framework includes the Creation of a shared safer city vision in order to attract investment
into through a crime free, conducive investor climate in cities. The Framework has been initiated in both the
City of Johannesburg and Tshwane.

CRIME IN GAUTENG

This plan focuses on improving service delivery, which includes the reduction of all crime categories, with
specific emphasis on Gender Based Violence and Femicide. The implementation of the National Strategic
Plan on Gender Based Violence and Femicide, the SAPS Gender Based Violence and Sexual Offences Action
Plan as well as the Gauteng Gender Based Violence Response Plan is focussed on reducing this scourge.
There has been a steady population growth in Gauteng over the last few years. This, together with the influx
of undocumented foreign nationals into Gauteng places additional demands on policing. Due to the increase
of serious crime over the first three quarters, the province has committed resources to continuous
intelligence gathering, preparedness and responsiveness to all incidents reported in order to adapt and
decisively respond to all reported crime.
Although there has been a decrease in Contact Crimes overall, there was a marked increase in Trio Crimes
which has a negative impact on the feeling of safety in communities and the economy. Crimes against
Women and Children remains a priority as the decrease in these crime categories have not been significant.

21
Gauteng South African Police Service Annual Operational Plan 2022/2023

As a model to improve accountability, SAPS Gauteng will continue to monitor performance in order to
determine the level of impact of actions implemented to improve performance and where necessary,
innovate to sustain any gains.
The violent unrest and protests in Gauteng during the month of July 2021, whereby shopping centres were
targeted, attacked and looted resulted in fatalities, injuries and millions of Rands of damage across the
Province. Members from some Law Enforcement Agencies who responded to the unrests were injured and
one member from EMPD was killed. Following these incidents, a Contingency Plan was drafted to ensure a
recurrence of this scale of unrest is prevented.

GROWING GAUTENG TOGETHER POLICING PLAN IMPLEMENTED THROUGH “OPERATION O KAE MOLAO”

In an effort to ensure that communities feel safe and protected as mandated by Section 205(3) of the
Constitution, 1996, Gauteng SAPS uses “Operation O Kae Molao” as the vehicle to implement the Growing
Gauteng Together 5 Year Policing Plan.

The operation is an integrated multidisciplinary approach seeking to deal with any form of criminal activities
in the province, with the support of various law enforcement agencies such as the Traffic Department, Metro
Police Departments, and Immigration from the Department of Home Affairs, Community Police Forum,
Tracker and Fidelity.
The objectives of Operation O Kae Molao are as follows:

Creating a conducive
Maintaining law, order, peace, environment for all people of
security and stability Gauteng to participate in social
and economic activities

Enforcing all laws and by-laws


Reclaiming the space and areas without fear or favour –
controlled by criminals Stamping the Authority of the
State

Creating a safe and secure


environment for all

22
Gauteng South African Police Service Annual Operational Plan 2022/2023

FIREARM AND LIQUOR CONTROL

The Central Firearms Register is mandated to administer firearm applications in accordance with the
prescripts of the Firearm Control Act of 2000. Its primary objective is to prevent the proliferation of illegally
possessed firearms, providing for the removal of these firearms from society, improving control over legally
possessed firearms and promoting responsible firearm ownership in Gauteng and South Africa as a whole.

The South African Police Service plays a pivotal role in enforcing compliance to National and Provincial Liquor
Legislation. The existing partnership between the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition, the
national Liquor Authority and the SAPS, to address enforcement of compliance to the Liquor Act of 2003 was
strengthened through the appointment of SAPS Members as liquor inspectors, thereby assisting in the
enhanced enforcement of compliance to the Act.

RURAL SAFETY

The threat of criminal attacks on farmers and residents of smallholdings remains a national priority for
SAPS. Such crimes lead to a multitude of economic and socio-economic strains and continue to threaten the
food security of the Republic. The prevention of these criminal attacks and continued joint operational
interventions remains pivotal in ensuring we create a safe and secure environment for all rural communities
in Gauteng.

The National Development Plan (NDP) 2030, Chapter 12 “Building Safer Communities” states that all
vulnerable groups including women, children and rural communities should enjoy equal protection and their
fear of crime should be eradicated through effective, coordinated responses of the police, business,
community and civil society.

It is in line with this, that the Gauteng SAPS has implemented the National Revised Rural Safety Strategy
2020 to 2025. The 8 Pillars contained in this strategy are as follows:

PILLAR 1: Building an effective Capacity (human & physical) and capability


PILLAR 2: Improving policing in rural and rural / urban areas

PILLAR 3: Improve policing infrastructure in rural and rural / urban police stations

PILLAR 4: Improve governance system for rural areas


PILLAR 5: Improve communication and marketing for rural areas

PILLAR 6: Community involvement and stakeholder collaboration

PILLAR 7: Implementation of Organised Crime Threat Assessment (OCTA) process


PILLAR 8: Monitoring and evaluation

23
Gauteng South African Police Service Annual Operational Plan 2022/2023

SCHOOL SAFETY STRATEGY 2020/2025

The implementation of the School Safety Strategy 2020/2025 is guided by the School Safety Protocol which
was entered into SAPS and Department of Basic Education in 2011.

Gauteng continue to implement the School Safety 2020-2025 concept which was sponsored by the
Guidelines on School –Based Crime Prevention document that seeks to address the following:
 Reduce the incidence of crime in society;
 Develop a better relationship between the police and the youth in communities;
 Create in young people an understanding of police’s role in society;
 Extend the concept of crime prevention; and
 Equip young people with the necessary skills to avoid dangerous and threatening situations.

To realise the objectives of the protocol, the SAPS is to link schools to local Police Stations and effectively
implement Adopt-A-Cop initiatives to raise awareness among children and young learners regarding crime
and violence, as well as its impact on individuals, families and education.

Schools are identified on the basis of crime prevalence or threats of crime and violence. The Province identify
schools to address activities relating to specific crimes and/or challenges, focusing on:
 Bullying;
 Sexual offences;
 Substance abuse;
 Vandalism;
 Burglary;
 Dangerous weapons; and
 Gangsterism.

TOURISM SAFETY
All five Districts in the Province compiled and implemented Tourism Safety Plans to improve the safety of
tourists in the Province. The component, Organisational Development and Strategic Management conducted
a work study investigation into the establishment of a Tourism Safety capacity at District level which was
approved for implementation.

CRIME DETECTION
The Detection Rate in various crime categories continues to be a challenge, however through various
interventions initiated by Crime Detection and inspections at prioritised underperforming stations,
improvement of performance in the detective environment is envisaged.
The detection of crime is the process which extends from the time that the SAPS becomes aware of a crime
and where a case docket is subsequently opened for investigation, until time a suspect has been arrested
and charged or the case docket has been closed off as unfounded or withdrawn before court.

Gauteng South African Police Service Annual Operational Plan 2022/2023

2.2 INTERNAL SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS

COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Over the past two years, the country has been combatting a new enemy, the COVID-19 pandemic that
affected policing and members of the SAPS as well as all other Law Enforcement Agencies across the
Province. Members of the SAPS are essential, frontline workers and are exposed to people on a daily basis
which places them at a high risk for contracting COVID-19. It has been a huge challenge for members to carry
out their duties and protect themselves from the pandemic at the same time. Various police officers lost
their lives after testing positive and some were hospitalized due to complications from the virus, while other
members are still fighting the battle in hospitals and at home.
Although we have not yet won the battle, we are adjusting to this ‘new normal’ in order to continue fighting
crime and serving the community.

HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT

SAPS has embarked on a restructuring process in order to reduce the compensation budget. This has been
necessitated due to a reduction in the SAPS’ overall budget. The implementation of the restructuring plan
has been authorised and all relevant role players are ready for the final implementation in accordance with
the project plan.
To boost the Detective environment and performance, the Deputy Provincial Commissioner: Crime
Detection post was filled. This will contribute in achieving the goal of improving ways of managing in the
SAPS by ensuring that criminals are brought to book.
In order to enhance service delivery and improve performance throughout the Province, the following
Provincial Heads and Station Commanders were appointed during the previous financial year:
Provincial Heads: Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences (FCS), Organised Crime, Corporate
Communication and Supply Chain Management.
Station Commanders: Orange Farms, Temba, Roodepoort, Krugersdorp, Evaton, Jeppe, Soshanguve,
Kempton Park and Rietgat.
The newly appointed Brigadiers are cognizant of their responsibilities within their new roles as Provincial
Heads and Stations Commanders. The Department is improving with respect to the 50% target of women
appointed in Senior Management posts.

JUNIOR MANAGEMENT CORE (JMC)

The National Commissioner of SAPS introduced the Junior Management Core (JMC) with the aim to
transform the Organisation as required by the National Development Plan (NDP). The JMC was then
established in the Province and is engaging in awareness campaigns targeting the youth and making them
aware about crimes that affect them, seeking partnership with them in the fight against crime.

25
Gauteng South African Police Service Annual Operational Plan 2022/2023

One of the objectives of the JMC is to ensure that junior members are innovative and allow themselves to
lead and to be led. They have improved themselves, supporting each other and are working harder to
progress as well as sharing practices that can be implemented to improve policing.
It is clear that the introduction of JMC participative management is a key driver in the implementation and
realisation of the new vision for the Organisation.

POLICING PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES

SAPS Gauteng has employed 1.41% persons with disabilities against the government’s target of 2%. To
improve on this target, the Province will recruit more people with disability within the framework of the
prescribed recruitment processes and ensure that people with disabilities already employed in the
Organisation register on the database of people with disabilities.

DEVELOPMENT OF MEMBERS (TRAINING)

Training and expertise of employees determine the skills available. Adaptability of employees determines
key aspects of strategic flexibility of the Organisation. Commitment and loyalty of employees determines
the capacity to attain and maintain service delivery. Training of members during the pandemic was a big
challenge since many courses had to be put on hold during the 2020/21 and the start of the 2021/22 financial
years. Training is however currently continuing, aligned with the relevant COVID-19 protocols.

SAPS GAUTENG GEARS UP TOWARDS A DEAF-COMMUNITY-FRIENDLY POLICE SERVICE

Gauteng SAPS embarked on an initiative in commencing with a pilot project to train police officials in sign
language to bridge the gap in delivering services to members of the deaf community. Despite many
challenges amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, nineteen members graduated in the Basic Sign Language course.
It is envisaged that more members will be trained in sign language to ensure services offered by the SAPS
are accessible to all communities.

VEHICLES

Supply Chain Management commenced with a project of performing unannounced station visits and
conducting vehicle inspections. The main aim of this project is to ensure members and commanders maintain
state resources and ensure compliance with prescripts.

The project is also aimed towards awareness with regards to the proper documentation needed for vehicle
repairs and maintenance at SAPS Garages.

THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY IN POLICING

In order to improve police safety, especially at work places, SAPS buildings that are most vulnerable to
attacks, have been identified for the installation of CCTV cameras. The project has been partially funded by
National Head Office, while the Provincial budget is utilised to supplement it.

26
Gauteng South African Police Service Annual Operational Plan 2022/2023

While social distancing restricted people from meeting and sharing of ideas, the South African Police Service
utilised computing platforms and media enabled virtual cyber gatherings through webinars, Microsoft
teams, etc.

Not only has such computing technologies enabled social interaction and sharing of ideas, it also suggested
that massive costs can be cut in the process. Cost saving opportunities brought about new computing
technologies will be continuously explored.

2.3 STATE OF THE NATION ADDRESS (SONA)


On 10 February 2022, President Cyril Ramaphosa, during the State of the Nation Address, once again
reiterated that to safeguard our democracy, the government has taken steps to protect our economic
infrastructure and build safer communities for all.

With regards to the civil unrest in July 2021, the President stated that the expert panel report which was
released, paints a deeply disturbing picture of the capabilities of security services and the structures that
exist to coordinate their work. It further concludes that the police operational planning was poor, there was
poor coordination between the state security and intelligence services, and police are not always embedded
in the communities they serve. A national response plan will be developed to address the weaknesses that
the panel has identified.

Concerning staffing, the President said that critical vacancies in the State Security Agency and Crime
Intelligence will be filled and that leadership changes in a number of security agencies will be announced to
strengthen our security structures. In addition, the staffing of the Public Order Policing Unit will be improved,
with appropriate training courses in place. An additional 12,000 new police personnel will be recruited and
trained to ensure that the SAPS urgently gets the capacity it needs.

The criminal gangs that invade construction sites and other business places to extort money from companies,
also known as the illicit business forums, must be confronted with a focused and coordinated response. The
President announced that specialised multi-disciplinary units were established to address economic
sabotage, extortion at construction sites and vandalism of infrastructure, which has damaged confidence
and severely constrained economic growth, investment and job creation.

Another area of immediate attention will be the re-establishment of community policing forums to improve
relations and coordination between local police and residents of the areas they serve.

The National Strategic Plan on GBVF and other measures to promote the empowerment of women are being
implemented in the fight against gender-based violence and femicide. Three new pieces of legislation were
signed into law to strengthened the criminal justice system, promoting accountability across the state and
support survivors.

Regarding the backlog in DNA processing, the President indicated that it was reduced from 210,000 exhibits
in April 2021 to around 58,000 at the time of the State of the Nation Address.

2.4 STATE OF THE PROVINCE ADDRESS (SOPA)

During the State of the Province Address on 21 February 2022, Premier David Makhura stated that the top
priority for the Province is to build safer communities, with specific emphasis on violence against women
and children, murder and house robberies.

The Premier stated that 45 high powered vehicles and 3 mobile police stations have been procured and 221
CPF members, patrollers included were trained. The patrollers’ database is being updated to enable the
determination of deployment per ward.

As part of fighting crimes against women and children, GBV brigades were deployed in all wards and 30
dedicated GBVF social workers were appointed. The Department of Community Safety has also managed to
rope in 610 safety volunteers participating as GBV brigades. The number of “Green Doors” were increased
to 36 and since 2019, 1151 GBV and crime victims have accessed and received support in these shelters.

The Floor Management Programme within police stations were launched to limit secondary victimisation
and waiting times for those reporting GBVF crimes.

In protecting children in schools, all new staff members are subjected to vetting. A total of 5355 patrollers
were added, not only at schools, but also to improve safety in communities.

The war room on fighting crime was established in order to bring together all spheres of government, civil
society, the private sector and critical stakeholders in order to build a safer Gauteng.

Regarding Operation O Kae Molao, the Premier said that there were positive results in the past and going
forward, the operations will be intensified and strengthened in collaboration with private law enforcement
agencies through the Eyes & Ears Programme.

Lastly, the Premier called upon all people in the Province to join hands with the government in the
fight against crime.

5. RISK MANAGEMENT
Risks are mitigated through the implementation of specific controls, designed to prevent the risk from
happening or, in the event of the risk happening, to minimise its impact on the organisation, its members,
resources and stakeholders.

Controls are the directives that the organisation have developed, and which should be implemented to
regulate the way we do business. Standing Orders and National Instructions are internal controls, as it
directs how matters should be addressed. An example of this is National Instruction 4 of 2011, which should
be utilised to manage the use of official vehicles. There are three types of controls:
 Preventive Controls are controls designed to ensure that a particular risk does not actually occur;
 Detective controls are controls that assist the organisation in determining if a risk has happened and we
are perhaps unaware of the risk (please note that despite the name detective controls, these controls
are not applicable only to the Detective Service, but to the entire SAPS); and
 Corrective controls are controls that assist the organisation in correcting or fixing the issues that resulted
in the risk and returning the situation to what it was before the risk occurred.

Once a risk has been identified as impacting on an organisation’s ability to achieve its objectives and
priorities, that organisation must either develop specific controls to prevent the risk from occurring or
ensure that existing controls are well designed and properly implemented. This requires the development
of a Risk Response Plan, which clearly indicates what should be done, i.e. what controls should be
implemented to prevent the risk or minimise its impact if it occurs.

The Gauteng Provincial Enterprise Risk Management Committee undertook a Risk Assessment process upon
which, based upon a qualitative process, risks impacting Gauteng were identified and voted on in order to
provide adequate responses on the most prevalent risks negatively impacting performance in the Province.

6. SERVICE DELIVERY IMPROVEMENT PLAN

The Constitution of 1996 through the Public Service Regulations and White Papers of the Transformation of
the Public Service and of Public Service Delivery (Batho Pele), make provision for Service Delivery
Improvement Plans (SDIPs) to improve service delivery. In terms of the Public Service Regulations, all national
and provincial government departments are required to develop and implement SDIPs. Regulation 38 of the
Public Service Regulation, 2016, provides that an executive authority shall establish and maintain a SDIP,
aligned to the strategic plan, specifying the main services to be improved to the different types of actual and
potential service recipients, as identified by the Department.
Over the past decade, government has been gradually moving from an “inside-out” approach basing service
delivery on what the organisation saw as important—to an “outside-in” approach basing service delivery on
citizens’ needs and expectations. The continuous and measurable improvement of client satisfaction is the
most reliable indicator of improvement in service quality and service performance. To better serve citizens
and business clients, the SAPS needs to fully understand their service needs. This is the crux of service
improvement – better understanding, leading to better service, leading to greater satisfaction, while making
service easier to access.
In response to the strategic direction, given by the Minister of Police, the Honourable General Bheki Cele, it
is incumbent on us, as employees of the South African Police Service, to ensure that “The dream of a young
women walking the streets of South Africa without fear of rape and attack is realised.” In support of the
Ministers direction the SAPS will identify key actions that will support the five key focus areas.
How will we get there? This involves the creation of a SDIP for the organisation, which will be supported by
activities set out in the Service Delivery Improvement Action Plans at all levels. These activities are centred on
the belief set – We belong, We care, We serve, which must truly be realised by clients who access our services
by bringing the principles of Batho Pele to life. As public servants we must encourage a spirit of culture and
practice of collaboration, teamwork and integrity, appreciating the trust that communities have in us to
police the country – thereby creating a better life for all.
Public servants should be courteous when providing services to the public, by listening to their problems,
apologising when we fail to meet the standards and serving people with empathy and a true willingness to
resolve their hardship.
How do we make it happen? This plan will be implemented through Service Delivery Improvement Action
Plans, at all levels of the organisation .This will be followed by quarterly monitoring and reporting on activities
for improvement. In carrying out these activities we must be cognisant of the Batho Pele principles and align
these with the Constitutional ideals of:
 Promoting and maintaining high professional standards of professional ethics;
 Providing service impartiality; fairly, equitably and without bias;
 Utilising resources efficiently and effectively
 Responding to people’s needs
 Rendering and accountable, transparent and development orientated public administration

An initial task to begin service improvement initiatives will be to identify the key services that will be
prioritised for improvement for the 2021/2022 financial year. The SAPS has amended the services that were
99
Gauteng South African Police Service Annual Operational Plan 2022/2023

identified during the 2019/2020 financial year, to provide more clarity to the service that must be improved.
It will be important that the leadership, i.e. Provincial Commissioners, Divisional Commissioners, National
Component Heads, District Commanders and Station Commanders within the respective levels take
responsibility for overseeing implementation of these initiatives by, establishing accountability systems and
to lead implementation of the Service Delivery Improvement Action Plans.

How will the Province benefit from implementing the proposed Service Delivery Improvement
initiatives?

The main objective of SDIP is to ensure


effective and efficient service delivery,
which is better, faster and more responsive
to the needs of the people

The process of implementing the Service


Ensures that SAPS’ institutionalises Batho Delivery Improvement Action Plan informs

approval.
Policing should be driven by a data intensive process and research analysis, and more research
partnerships should be mobilized.

and secure environment into a crime-free conducive climate for economic and social stability in support
of a better life for all”. The Provincial Commissioner of Gauteng answered and Operation O Kae Molao
