HeraldLive reports that the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality is on the hunt to fill more than 100 metro police posts, most of which are currently filled by traffic and safety and security officers in an acting capacity.  

The metro on Monday advertised 50 inspector and 65 sergeant posts.  On Friday, acting corporate services executive director Vuyo Zitumane said staff were previously appointed to act in metro police posts because the municipality did not have a placement policy in place.  Now that a policy had been developed, she said the metro had advertised all positions to appoint people permanently.
