BusinessLive reports that police minister Bheki Cele said on Tuesday that a review of the SA Police Service Act was underway, with amendments expected to be made in the current financial year.
The review of the act is aimed at aligning the legislation to all relevant policies including the National Development Plan (NDP), the 2016 white paper on policing, and the 2016 white paper on safety and security, as well as with the constitution as some sections of the existing act are based on provisions of the interim constitution of 1993. The amendments will also address the matters raised in the Constitutional Court judgment in the case brought by the Helen Suzman Foundation. The Foundation successfully argued several years ago that the act, as amended, failed to secure an adequate degree of structural and operational independence for the Hawks, which is required to be a dedicated anti-corruption agency.
