popcruDispatchLive reports that the Police and Prisons Civil Rights Union (Popcru) in the Eastern Cape has given government seven days to respond to demands by its members employed in the security cluster.  

Workers from the Department of Correctional Services (DCS) and the SA Police Services (SAPS), as well as traffic officers from the Department of Transport, gathered at the Jan Smuts stadium in East London on Thursday before marching to the DCS offices.  Popcru’s provincial chairman, Loyiso Mdingi, said they had targeted correctional services mainly because the department lacked “direction and leadership”.  Representatives from the three departments accepted memoranda and committed to giving urgent attention to the issues raised.  Mdingi said he was confident management would address their demands by next week Friday.
