President Cyril Ramaphosa

recently delivered the State of the Nation Address, in which he outlined the South African government’s plans

to eradicate the scourge of gender-based violence and femicide.

In pursuance of a nation without sexism and inequality, government launched a National Strategic Plan of Gender-based Violence and Femicide (GBVF) in April last year. The plan aims at strengthening the criminal justice system so that it can better deal with GBVF crimes.

Read more about the progress with the new legislations aimed at dealing with GBVF crimes more effectively, plans to uplift women economically, how other crimes are being tackled (p 3), as well as other matters that affect the citizenry, in the full address available on the internet.

Also in this edition, Minister Cele released the third quarterly crime statistics of the 2020/2021 financial year (pp 4-5). This quarter saw a sharp rise in violent crimes. However, the grim numbers are accompanied by a rise in crimes detected as a result of police conduct and the hefty sentences secured for sexual crime perpetrators.

Good stakeholder relations with the private sector and the SAPS’s sister departments

saw the Gauteng Premier donate several high performance vehicles to the SAPS with the aim of aiding hard-working police officers’ crime-fighting efforts on highway patrols and in response to sexually-related offences (pp 6-7).

Police officers have, indeed, been hard at work with many success stories being recorded. Read how a multidisciplinary team apprehended cash-in-transit robbers and recovered the cash in Langlaagte (p 8), as well as how hawk-eyed members on routine patrol acted on a hunch and found a large stash of illegal, high calibre firearms – probably foiling a planned armed robbery (p 9).

Our search-and-rescue teams across the country have also been kept quite busy with the recent floods in parts of the country. Members of the Phuthaditjihaba team rescued an elderly woman from a flooded river (p 10) while those in Kimberly participated in various humanitarian relief missions (p 11). Several other successes are featured on pages 16 and 17.

As we celebrated February as the month of love, we remind all our members to do all things with love, nurture their relationships with their loved ones, who are a much needed support system in our line of work, and most importantly, love oneself as well. Read how one can do this in the feature on the different types of love (pp 14-15) and this edition’s Employee Health and Wellness contribution, Emotional Bank Account on page 20.

NATIONAL COMMISSIONER’S MESSAGEGeneral Khehla John Sitole

the impact of this pandemic. We would like to urge fellow

members of the SAPS and society at large to cooperate to

minimise the impact of the pandemic.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank our

gallant members in blue who have been at the forefront of

the fight against this pandemic. We sympathise with the

families of our members who succumbed to this virus while

ensuring that we continue to serve and protect by fighting

against all forms of crime.

As you know, the SAPS’s management has undertaken to

release crime statistics every quarter to inform the public

how we are faring in the fight against crime. We are slowly

making a dent in various forms of crime, and we are fully

confident and optimistic that we will win this fight. Granted,

we do acknowledge some shortfalls as the statistics helped

to expose some gaps that are prevalent in policing certain

categories of crime.

One of the major concerns for our organisation is the

shocking levels of gender-based violence and femicide

in our society. We must remain resolute and determined

to fight this scourge to protect women, children and all

vulnerable groups in our country. We will continue to

cooperate with our prosecutorial authorities to ensure that

the perpetrators of this crime are brought to book. We are

motivated by the numerous life sentences handed down

by our courts for crimes committed against women and

children.

Another debilitating factor confronting our organisation,

is that of corruption within our ranks and we have taken

a decisive step to deal with this matter. We want to urge

our members to desist from such conduct as it erodes the

confidence that the public has in our organisation. If it is

found that a member has committed such acts, we will

spare neither effort nor energy in securing a conviction. In

the same breath, we do acknowledge that there are those

policemen and policewomen who continue to do a sterling

job and we pay homage to them. Let us all be true to the

badge of the SAPS and strive at all times to win the fight

against crime.

Fellow members of the SAPS, you will agree that the Covid-19 pandemic has greatly

necessitated that, we, as an organisation, alter the manner in which we do business.

We have introduced the SAPS’s Covid-19 protocols to ensure

healthier and safer spaces for the SAPS’s employees

with the sole intention of reducing the impact that the

second wave of the Coronavirus had on our organisation.

This comes after the mandate issued by the President

of South Africa, the Health Minister and the Covid-19

Central Command Team following the readjusted Level 3

regulations calling for behavioural changes in our society.

However, we as the police have noted with great concern

certain people who still lower their guard and undermine

In his State of the Nation Address on 11 February 2021, President Cyril Ramaphosa

outlined government’s plans to tackle violence against women and all other forms of crime.

President Ramaphosa highlighted that tackling crime was vital to the success of South Africa’s economic recovery. “Crimes like cable theft, railway infrastructure vandalism, land invasions, construction site disruptions and attacks on trucks hamper economic activity and discourage investment. We have taken steps to stop those crimes and deal with those responsible in terms of the law. Task teams have been set up in a number of provinces to deal with extortion and violence on sites of economic activity,” he said.

Outlining strategies to curb border crimes, which have a negative impact on the country’s safety and security, President Ramaphosa said: “We are also fast-tracking the implementation and capacitation of the Border Management Agency to curb illegal immigration and cross-border crime.”

President Ramaphosa emphasised the importance of ending gender-based violence and femicide (GBVF) in the country’s pursuit to becoming a society rooted in equality and non-sexism.

“When I launched the National Strategic Plan on Gender-Based Violence and Femicide in April last year, I made a promise to the women and children of this country that we were going to strengthen the criminal justice system to prevent them from being traumatised again, and to ensure that the perpetrators face the law,” he said.

Further detailing the efforts made to tighten legislation to combat GBVF, President Ramaphosa said: “To give effect to this, three key pieces of legislation were introduced in Parliament last year to make the criminal justice system more effective in combating gender-based violence. To ensure that perpetrators are brought to book, we are making progress in reducing the backlog of gender-based violence cases.”

President Ramaphosa also announced government initiatives to provide care and support to the survivors of GBV, adding that the government would prioritise the economic empowerment of women.

“Last year, Cabinet approved a policy that 40% of public procurement should go to female-owned businesses. Several departments have started implementing this policy and are making progress,” he said.

As part of the initiative to fund projects to combat GBVF, President Ramaphosa launched a private sector-led GBVF project on 4 February 2021. This multi-sector project is aimed at supporting the implementation of the National Strategic Plan, and wider spread response to GBVF in the country.

Several South African companies and global philanthropists made pledges amounting to R128 million in support of this cause. It is envisaged that government will allocate approximately R12 billion to implement the various components of the National Strategic Plan over the next three years.

“Gender-based violence will only end when everyone takes responsibility for doing so in their homes, in their communities, in their workplaces, in their places of worship, and in their schools,” said President Ramaphosa.

2020/2021 Crime StatS: 3rd Quarter

“The SAPS has to dig deep and put their shoulders to the wheel as the statistics

we release today, expose some gaps that exist in policing certain crime categories, as well as policing shortcomings in certain provinces.”

These were the words of the Minister of Police, General Bheki Cele, in his opening address to release the crime statistics for the third quarter of 2020/2021 at the Government Communication Information System in Hatfield on 19 February 2021.

Minister Cele’s words were a reaction to the sharp increase of violent crimes in various provinces as reported by police stations in the period under review. One such crime category was murder.

Murder increased by 6.6% during the period of October to December 2020 – that means 389 more deaths at the hands of criminals as compared to the previous 2019/2020 financial year. The top four causative factors of these deaths are as a result of arguments, robberies at houses and businesses, mob justice and gang-related killings.

“If we are to win this war, we need to go back to the drawing board and include the communities in the fight against crime. I remain concerned about the Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal, Free State and the Western Cape provinces. The four provinces recorded over 10% increases in the crime of murder,” he said. However, there were some provinces that showed significant improvement with regard to murder rates, such as the Eastern Cape.

Sexual offences detected as a result of police conduct, increased by 5%. Sexual offences increased by 1,5%. Of the 12 218 people who were raped, over 4 900 were attacked in their homes or the home of the rapist. Of those, 570 were domestic violence-related cases, of which 547 involved female victims and 23 involved males. Inanda, Umlazi in KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape’s Lusikisiki Police Stations recorded the highest incidents of rape.

Addressing media reports on the availability of rape kits, General Cele said: “There is no shortage of evidence collection kits, also known as rape kits, at ALL police stations across the country. A three-year contract entered

By capt Kgabo Mashamaite

into with a supplier in 2019 to provide these essential kits, is still valid – and the availability of the ’rape kits’ in all provinces is confirmed weekly, and they are replenished on request by the police stations.”

Lauding the work done by police officers in terms of sexual offences, Minister Cele said: “We are motivated by the numerous life sentences handed down for crimes committed against women and children. In the three months of reporting, the FCS [Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit] secured 129 life sentences and I really hope that these jail terms also reassure the victims of GBVF [gender-based violence and femicide] of our efforts as law enforcement to bring the offenders to justice.”

Presenting the third quarter crime statistics, the Component Head of Crime Research and Statistics, Maj Gen Thulare Sekhukhune, reminded members of the public to bear in mind that the third quarter crime statistics were collated while the country was still under Alert Level One of the Disaster Management Act, while most of the regulations were relaxed and should, therefore, be understood in that context.

“During the period under review, the total number of contact crimes decreased by 2 393 or 1.6%, from 174 157 in the

last quarter 2019/2020 financial year to 171 764 in quarter three of the 2020/2021 financial year.

As alluded to by the Minister previously, we have seen a sharp increase in sexual offences during the period where crimes committed increased by 270 or 1,8%, from 15 325 in the last quarter of the 2019/2020 financial year to 15 595 in quarter three of the 2020/2021 financial year.

Contact-related crimes increased by 392 or 1,3%, from 30 597 of the last quarter of the 2019/2020 financial year to 30 989 in quarter three of the 2020/2021 financial year. Some sub-categories of aggravated robbery increased by 111, from 325 in the last quarter of the 2019/2020 financial year to 436 in quarter three of the 2020/2021 financial year,” said Maj Gen Sekhukhune.

Maj Gen Sekhukhune explained that the crime situation in the country was measured per ratio by taking the entire population and dividing it in an equal proportion of 100 000 and measure 17 community-reported serious crimes committed against the person within that particular population, as reported at that station.

“The actual figures of crime as reported under contact crimes by using the population figures of 2017 according to the Statistics SA standards, are as follows:

• Murder stands at 10,5 per 100 000 in 2020/2021

• Rape at 20,4 per 100 000 in 2020/2021

• Attempted murder at 9,1 per 100 000 in 2020/2021

• Assault with the intent to inflict grievous bodily harm at 83,8 per 100 000 in 2020/2021

• Common assault at 80 per 100 000 in 2020/2021,

• Common robbery 19,8 per 100 000 in 2020/2021.”

Maj Gen Sekhukhune further detailed that -

• overall Crime detected as a result of police conduct, decreased by 20.4% (360) from 75 160 during the last quarter of 2019/2020, it decreased to 59 800 in quarter three of 2020/2021

• crimes such as illegal possession of firearms and ammunition, decreased by 18.5% (761) from 4 114 during the last quarter of 2019/2020 to 3 353 in quarter three of 2020/2021

• Drug-related crimes decreased by 9.6% (3 974) from 41 520 during the last quarter of 2019/2020 to 37 546 in quarter three of 2020/2021

• Driving Under the influence of alcohol or drugs decreased by 39.8% (10 752) from 27 011 during the last quarter of 2019/2020, to 16 259 in quarter three of 2020/2021

• Sexual offences detected as a result of police conduct, increased by 5% (127) from 2 515 during the last quarter of 2019/2020 to 2 642 in quarter three of 2020/2021.

HiGH PerFOrmaNCe VeHiCLeS HANDED OVER TO POLICE IN GAUTENG

The SAPS in Gauteng recently received high performance vehicles from the Premier of

Gauteng, Mr David Makhura, and the MEC for Community Safety, Ms Faith Mazibuko.

The vehicles were a commitment made in the 2020 State of the Province Address, when Premier Makhura pledged to support the police with high performance vehicles and technology in the fight against crime.

By capt Keitumetse Mmushi Photographs by capt Kgabo Mashamaite

The Minister of Police, General Bheki Cele, his deputy Mr Cassel Mathale, and the Provincial Commissioner of the SAPS in Gauteng, Lt Gen Elias Mawela, accepted the vehicles.

Eleven of the vehicles were handed over to the Family Violence and Sexual Offences Units in the province with the hope that they will assist in dealing with and assisting members of the community who are faced with such incidents. The other vehicles will be used to patrol highways and to help in the fight against priority crimes such as car

hijackings, as well as business and house robberies in Gauteng.

Premier Makhura said that crime prevention is a community effort. “Gauteng has adopted a Provincial Policing Plan, which is going to help us reduce the rate of crime in the province. We want Gauteng to be a safer province. We are winning the war against crime in Gauteng. The latest crime statistics show a downward trend,” he said.

In his address, General Cele said: “We want to emphasise to the operators, led by [Lieutenant] General Mawela, that these cars must patrol these highways. When the community of Gauteng calls for help, there must be swift response. They should not in any way be abused. [These vehicles should] create the swift response that is needed by the people of Gauteng. The excuse that the police do not have enough vehicles to respond to crime, should no longer be valid.”

CaSH-iN-traNSit HeiStCOPS FOIL

One suspect was arrested while four alleged cash-in-transit (CIT) robbers succumbed to

gunshot wounds sustained during a shootout with the police in Katlegong, Gauteng, following a CIT robbery that had occurred in Edison Street, Langlaagte industrial area on 22 January 2021 just after 07:00.

A group of armed men allegedly used explosives to bomb an armoured vehicle in order to gain access to the safe. The suspects set fire to the vehicle they had used to ram the armoured vehicle off the road, and made off with an undisclosed amount of cash. One of the security guards sustained a gunshot wound to the head during the CIT and was rushed to the hospital.

The SAPS’s National Crime Intelligence Section activated the SAPS’s Air Wing as well as the SAPS’s Limpopo and Mpumalanga Tracking Teams, who were assisted

By col Brenda Muridili

by the Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department’s SWAT and Johannesburg Metro Police Department’s K9 teams to trace the suspects.

The information received led the multidisciplinary teams to a safe house in Katlegong where the suspects tried to shoot their way out. One suspect was arrested, while four others were fatally wounded. The team launched a manhunt for the suspects who managed to flee the scene.

Upon searching the premises, the team recovered two police radios, an unlicensed firearm and two vehicles, one had been hijacked in Katlegong in December 2020 and the other was hijacked in Sandton in early January 2021.The Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation took over the investigations. The arrested suspect is due to appear in court soon to face charges of murder, attempted murder, armed robbery, possession of a prohibited firearm and ammunition.

HiGH CaLiBre FirearmS POLICE RECOVER

The police recovered two AK-47 rifles with loaded magazines, an R1 rifle with two

loaded magazines, two loaded pistols, and 11 ‘getaway’ vehicles suspected to have been stolen, at a house in Lombardy East near Alexandra in Johannesburg on 29 January 2021.

While conducting routine patrols on 29 January, members of the Parktown Police Station observed a suspicious white Toyota Quest with three occupants at approximately 07:30. Upon noticing that one of the occupants had a firearm, the members alighted the car and approached the man in question.

In response, the armed suspect allegedly drew his firearm and shot at the police. An unconfirmed number of armed men reportedly emerged from a nearby house and a shootout between the police and the suspects ensued. The police arrested one suspect while some fled on foot, and others sped off in two vehicles.

The police members then searched the house and granny cottage from where the gunmen had emerged. They found two AK-47 rifles, an R1 rifle, two pistols, magazines loaded with ammunition of various calibre, a car-jamming device, hand gloves and other robbery implements. The police also found ten vehicles inside and one outside the yard. Three of the cars, a BMW, Mercedes Benz and Audi A4, were confirmed positive as having been hijacked in Sunnyside, Daveyton, and KwaMhlanga.

Preliminary evidence suggests that the suspects were in the middle of plotting an aggravated crime before they were disturbed by the police. The detectives have launched a search for the suspects who escaped, and started the linking process to establish whether the arrested suspect and the weapons could be linked to other crimes.

By capt Mavela Masondo

The Provincial Commissioner of the SAPS in Gauteng, Lt Gen Elias Mawela, lauded the police officers who were observant and vigilant on their patrol.

“It is clear that these suspects were in a meeting, conspiring to commit a serious and violent crime that could have resulted in injuries and/or fatalities of innocent citizens. In the past few weeks, the police in Gauteng have foiled serious robberies, and recovered high calibre firearms where suspects have succumbed to injuries during shootouts with law enforcement officers. This is an indication that the police in the province are on high alert to protect the property and lives of citizens,” said Lt Gen Mawela.


BraVe OFFiCer reSCueS ELDERLy WOMAN IN FLOODED RIVER

Acourageous police officer, Const Moleko Mabe, was hailed as a hero after risking

his life to rescue a 67-year-old woman, Emma Tlaleng Mahloko, in the heavily flooded Kgoptjane River at Phuthaditjihaba in the Free State.

Const Mabe and his colleague, WO Mandla Mothapo attached to the Phuthaditjihaba Police Station, had just gotten into the police van to start with their shift on 8 February 2021, when they heard over the two-way radio that an elderly woman was trapped in the flooded Kgoptjane River. The two members immediately rushed to the scene.

Upon their arrival at the river, members of the community were gathering on a nearby bridge watching helplessly. Const Mabe immediately rushed to the river to save Ms Mahloko’s life.

“I heard uGogo screaming in the bushy area inside the river, asking for help. I could not see her, but used my amateur swimming skills and made my way through the thorny branches and into the muddy river.” The water was flowing fast and strong because of heavy rain. I finally saw her holding onto the branch of a tree, but it was too far to reach out to her, because of the dense branches. I took the risk, dived into the river and swam until I reached her,” recalled Const Mabe.

Determined to rescue Ms Mahloko, Const Mabe unknowingly overcame his fear of drowning. “I was not afraid to drown, as my focus was on rescuing uGgogo. I told her that I was there to rescue her. It was a frightening moment for her and she asked me how I was going to rescue her because I had no rope,” said Const Mabe.

However, Const Mabe’s quick thinking and resourcefulness helped him rescue Ms Mahloko and keep himself alive as well. Explaining how he rescued Ms Mahloko, Const Mabe said: “I asked her to grab hold of my belt before I started swimming toward the river bank. I spent almost five minutes inside the water struggling to reach the river bank. I was breaking tree branches to pave my way, keeping focus on the safety of uGgogo, and ensuring that she did not lose her grip on my belt.”

Gogo Emma Tlaleng Mahloko from the Mangaung village, was taken to the police station and reunited with her family. Const Mabe’s act of bravery earned the praise of the Provincial Commissioner of the SAPS in the Free State, Lt Gen Baile Motswenyane, who described him as a hero and a selfless officer.

“The member did not think twice before saving uGogo, whose life was in danger. In so doing, he risked his own life. There is no doubt that Constable Mabe was not merely performing a duty, but he truly lives his calling. He is an example to other police officials,” said Lt Gen Motswenyane.

The SAPS’s management in the Free State used their personal funds to host a small event in honour of Const Mabe’s act of bravery, and rewarded him with R5 000 in cash on 10 February 2021.

When handing over the envelope with the cash to Const Mabe, Lt Gen Motswenyane emphasised that it was just a token of appreciation from management, who had contributed their personal funds, and that they would still use formal channels to reward his good and brave service.

“This is not much, but we wanted to laud your extraordinary efforts to save this lady’s life. May other members follow your example,” said Lt Gen Motswenyane.

Const Mabe was touched by the gesture and said that he had not thought twice about saving the gogo’s life, as that was the sort of act he had signed up for when he joined the police. “I only thought of saving the life of this gogo, and did not expect anything in return,” said an emotional Const Mabe.

KimBerLeY SearCH aNd reSCue AIDS IN HUMANITARIAN RELIEF

Amid the recent heavy rains that were experienced in certain areas of the Northern Cape, members

of the Kimberley Search-and-Rescue Unit put their own lives at risk in an attempt to rescue victims who were trapped in flooded areas, and to recover the bodies of victims who had drowned in the strong-flowing rivers.

The team, under the command of Capt John Seeley, comprised Warrant Officers Ronsard Allen and Michael Korasie, Sergeants Lamberd Scholtz, Sebastian Wildt, Disang Moholoeng and Arnold Strydom, as well as Const Sheena Floors, who all formed part of a collective, multidisciplinary humanitarian team sent to distribute eight tons of food to the stranded flood victims on 4 February 2021.

The multidisciplinary team was headed by the Premier of the Northern Cape, Dr Zamani Saul, and various other dignitaries including the Acting Provincial Commissioner for the SAPS in the Northern Cape, Maj Gen Henriette de Waal and the Acting Commander of the ‘John Taolo Gaetswe District’, Brig Francis Hender.

On 6 February 2021, the members of the Search-and-Rescue Unit also recovered the body of a 14-year-old boy believed to have drowned in the irrigation dam on the Barkley West/Pniel Community Farm.

Capt Seeley and WO Korasie responded to a report of a family of five in distress in a river in the Boetsap area on 6 February 2021. It is believed that the family, who was travelling in a donkey cart, was washed away and trapped in the river.

By col Mashay Gamieldien

The two members were airlifted from the Kuruman Airport with a South African National Defence Force Oryx helicopter, and flown to the scene where they executed a live bait rescue, which involved the lifting of each family member from the river. The family was brought to safety and dropped along the road, where the owner of the farm further assisted them. Sadly, a 40-year-old male who was also on the donkey cart, was swept away and his body was recovered on 8 February 2021. None of the other family members sustained any injuries during their ordeal.

The team also assisted in rescuing the driver of a bakkie that was swept away by the strong flow of the Spitskop Dam on 7 February 2021. They found the driver trapped between trees and brought him to safety, however the vehicle was washed away.

Maj Gen De Waal expressed her sincere gratitude and appreciation to the members of the Kimberley Search-and-Rescue Unit for gallantly risking their lives to assist and rescue members of the community who were in distress.


aVOId cONFLIcT OF INTeresT SAPS MEMBERS MUST

The SAPS has issued a strong warning to its members to refrain from practices that could

directly or indirectly lead to a conflict of interest within the police service.

A conflict of interest may arise in three ways:

• An actual conflict of interest involves a direct conflict between a public official’s current duties and responsibilities and existing private interests.

• A perceived or apparent conflict of interest can exist where it could be perceived, or appears that a public official’s private interests could improperly influence the performance of their duties – whether or not this is in fact the case.

• A potential conflict of interest arises if a public official has private interests that could be in conflict with their official duties in the future.

These practices include conducting business with any arm of State or influencing the bidding process to benefit business entities of family members and/or friends for

gratuities and/or financial gain, while still in the employ of the SAPS, as it is likely to compromise the performance of his/her duties as a public servant. It is alleged that some high-ranking police officers ignored the competitive bidding process and colluded with service providers to provide the SAPS services at inflated costs, resulting in the financial exposure of R191 million in exchange for benefits. It is further alleged this practice saw a former member benefit an undeclared discount of R284 580 toward the purchasing of a BMW X5 at a local dealership.

The warning serves as a constant reminder to all members of the SAPS following the arrest of 45 suspects, among them high profile former and current police officers, support personnel, private individuals and companies on charges ranging from corruption, fraud, forgery, money laundering and theft.

The arrests emanated from crimes which were allegedly conducted in 2017, which we investigated after the establishment of the Special Anti-Corruption Unit to investigate allegations of wrongdoing within the organisation.

INTeGrITy

By capt Kgabo Mashamaite

After several arrests, the National Commissioner of the SAPS, General Khehla Sitole, said that he remained resolute in his efforts to clean the SAPS of any form of wrongdoing by members of all ranks.

A recently published report by the Auditor General of South Africa revealed damning findings of police members and Public Service Act personnel within the organisation doing business with State organs without approval, which is in direct contravention of the existing legislative frameworks, policies, the SAPS’s Code of Conduct and the National Instruction on Integrity Management.

Section 30 of the public Service Act (pSA),1994 (Act No 47 of 1993) provides that employees in the public sector shall not perform remunerative work outside their employment, except with the written permission of the executive authority of the department. The executive authority must take into account whether the external work could reasonably be expected to interfere with or impede on the effective performance of the employee’s functions in the department.

The public Administration Management Act, 2014 (Act No 11 of 2014) sets out the values of public administration. It also establishes a code of ethics that applies not only to public service employees, but to the wider public sector. The Act makes it clear that whoever acts in breach of the values or code of ethics, may face disciplinary proceedings and will be criminally charged for doing business with the State. The Act also prohibits members of public bodies from holding private interests in contracts with that body. That is, any public officer who acquires a private interest in a contract connected with the public body, is guilty of an offence. Exceptions to this offence include, if the public officer’s conditions of employment do not prohibit him/her from such holdings, for example, if the public official’s interest is as a shareholder of a listed company, meaning that if the contract is awarded through a tender and the official’s contract of employment does not prohibit this and the tender process is independent.

SApS’ employment regulations 2018

Chapter 2 of the SAPS’s Regulations specifically covers ethics management and measures to prevent and detect conflict of interest and corruption. The regulation requires the appointment of a designated capacity of ethics officers, therefore the existence of the Integrity Management Service in the SAPS. Designated programmes have been implemented to promote awareness of issues related to ethics and integrity, with specific focus on high risk environments. Designated programmes have also been implemented to manage possible conflict of interest, and to prevent SAPS’s officials from doing business with the government.

National instruction 18 of 2019 on integrity Management

The National Instruction on Integrity Management, No 18 of 2019 in the SAPS, requires members to not conduct business with any organ of State, nor be a director of a public or private company doing business with an organ of State. Unless such employee is in an official capacity a director of a company listed in schedule 2 and 3 of the Public Finance Management Act. Chapter 4 of this National Instruction focuses on the performance of remunerative work outside the SAPS, and the prohibition on the granting of approval to an employee to perform certain types of remunerative work, or to engage in certain activities for financial gain.

All of these prescripts prohibit employees of the organisation, whether they are employed under the SAPS Act or the Public Service Act, not to bid for government contracts when under the employ of the SAPS. Those in the designated categories are expected to disclose their financial interests, withdraw from supply chain management processes if they have an interest in the contract being awarded, not engage in any activities which could damage his/her reputation or that of the organisation, not engage in activities that could compromise his/her performance in the SAPS, and not engage in outside remunerative work without prior approval.

FeBruarY: tHe mONtH OF LOVeCELEBRATING ALL FORMS OF LOVE

Most people celebrate february as the month of love seeing as valentine’s day, a day when couples spoil each other, is celebrated on 14 february annually.

it is on this day that people will celebrate their love for each other by giving each other gifts, going on romantic nights out, or even going away for a special weekend to a place where they can relax and spend some quality time together.

These ideas are great for romantic partners, but romantic love is not the only love we can experience.

let us look at all eight types of love we can experience and how that love is catalysed (provoked/sped up) and shown:

ludus: This is a child-like and flirtatious love commonly found in the beginning stages of a relationship (also known as the honeymoon stage). Although common in young couples, older couples who strive for this love, find a more rewarding relationship.

catalyst: Astral (emotion)

Your emotions allow you to feel giddy, excited, interested and involved with another person.

How to Show:• Flirt and engage in whimsical conversation• Spend time together to laugh and have fun• Exemplify childlike behaviour together.

eros: This is primal love that comes instinctively and naturally. The love that we have already discussed, the love between two people who are in a romantic/sexual relationship. It is a passionate love displayed through physical affection. This love is a desire for another person’s physical body.

catalyst: Physical body (hormones)

Your hormones awaken a fire in your body and must be satiated with romantic actions from an admired partner.

How to Show:• Admiring someone’s physical body• Physical touch, such as hugging and kissing• Romantic affection.

pragma: This is enduring, compassionate love. It is the type of love that develops over many years. Both partners put in equal effort. Commitment is the cornerstone of this type of love - instead of ‘falling in love’ partners are ‘standing in love’ with the aim of staying together indefinitely.

catalyst: Subconscious

The subconscious drives partners to each other, and the feelings associated with this love come unknowingly and feel purposeful.

How to Show:• Continue to strengthen the bond of long-term

relationships• Seek and show effort with your partner• Choose to work with your partner forever.

Mania: This is an obsessive love for a partner. It leads to unwanted jealousy or possessiveness – known as co-dependency. Most cases of obsessive love are found in couples with an imbalance of love for each other. An imbalance of eros and ludus is the main cause of mania. With healthy levels of playful and romantic love, the harm of obsessive love can be avoided.

catalyst: Survival instinct

The survival instinct drives a person to desperately need their partner in order to find a sense of self-value.

How to Avoid Mania:• Recognise obsessive or possessive behaviour before

acting on it

• Focus on yourself more than on another person• Put trust into your relationships.

philautia: This is a healthy form of love where you recognise your self-worth and do not ignore your personal needs. Self-love begins with acknowledging your responsibility for your own well-being.

catalyst: Soul

Your soul allows you to reflect on your needs and physical, emotional and mental health.

How to Show:• Create an environment that nurtures your well-being• Take care of yourself like a parent would care for a

child• Spend time around people who support you.

philia: Commonly referred to as ‘brotherly’ love. This is love without romance. It is authentic, affectionate love between friends and/or family. It occurs when both people share the same values and respect each other.

catalyst: The mind

Your mind articulates which friends are on the same wavelength as you, and who you can trust.

How to Show:• Engage in deep conversation with a friend.• Be open and trustworthy.• Be supportive in hard times.

Storge: This is unconditional/familiar love, usually between a parent and a child, other family members, and sometimes very good friends. It is an infinite love built upon acceptance and deep emotional connection. This love comes easily and immediately in parent and child relationships, while it takes longer in friendships.

catalyst: Causal (memories)

Your memories encourage long-lasting bonds with another individual, so the more memories created, the greater the value of the relationship.

How to Show:• Sacrifice your time, self or personal pleasures.• Quickly forgive harmful actions.• Share memorable moments and moments that had an

impact.

Agape: This is selfless/empathetic love – the highest form of love – given without expecting anything in return. This is the love that led Jesus to die for us on the cross. Agape is not

compiled by Lt col fundiswa Maphanga and sac Delia van Deventer

a physical act, it is a feeling, but acts of self-love can elicit agape since self-monitoring yields results.

catalyst: Spirit

Your spirit creates a purpose bigger than yourself. It motivates you to pass kindness on to others.

How to Show:• Dedicate your life to improving the lives of others.• Stay conscious of your actions for the good of

humankind.• Offer your time and charity to someone in need.

All of us can experience any of these types of love. Some of us can experience a combination of these types of love. It is important to find the perfect combination for you.

friendship can be a combination of philia, storge, and philautia. This means you can show affection (philia) through deep conversation, have familial love (storge) through sharing memories, and practicing self-love (philautia) by only engaging in friendships that build you up.

While a relationship with a significant other can be a combination of pragma, eros, and ludus. Partners can show enduring love (pragma) through working together, show romantic love (eros) by setting aside quality time to be with each other, and show playful love (ludus) by flirting and playing together.

families can experience a combination of storge, agape, and philia. Family members can show each other familiar love (storge) by loving each other conditionally and forgiving each other, selfless love (agape) by putting others’ needs first, and affectionate love (philia) by having open, honest communication.

Let us always celebrate not only romantic love, but all the other types of love, and thank God for the people in our lives who can share this love with us. Let us also remember and pray for those who have lost loved ones, and will not be able to celebrate with them, whether it be a husband or a wife, a brother or a sister, a mother or a father, or a dear friend. Let us also thank God that the love He feels for us is the strongest love of all - the love He showed by sending His Son to die for us on the Cross, because He IS Love.

The police in Philippi East recently conducted a campaign against extortion and protection fees in Lower Cross Roads, in an effort to reduce contact crime in the area.

The Philippi East Police Station is one of many police stations that are affected by syndicates that have set their sights on threatening and/or soliciting money from businesses and local property owners in exchange for ‘protection’ against robberies and other forms of violence.

The members also distributed pamphlets alerting local businesses on the trend and what to do when they are approached.

COVid-19 treatmeNt ILLEGAL IMPORTATION

By col athlenda Mathe

The police have arrested several suspects for illegally importing Ivermectin medication

believed to effectively treat Covid-19, at various ports of entry recently. Three passengers coming from India, were arrested and detained at the OR Tambo International Airport for possession of 193 800 Ivermectin tablets valued at R5 million.

All three suspects are facing charges of contravening the South African Medicines and Medical Devices Regulatory Authority Act, 1998 (Act No 132 of 1998) and appeared in the Kempton Park Magistrate’s Court on 29 January 2021.

In a similar incident, a man who had just arrived from Dubai, was arrested at the King Shaka International Airport on 7 January 2021 after having been found in possession of 2 464 Ivermectin tablets worth an estimated market value of R100 000, in his hand luggage.

The 43-year-old man appeared before the Verulam Magistrates’ Court where he was charged with being in possession of unregistered medicines and the importation of medicines without a valid permit.

The South African Health products regulatory Authority stated that ivermectin was NoT registered with the authority and was not indicated nor approved for use by humans, and that there was no confirmatory data on ivermectin available as yet for its use in the management of covid-19 infections.

PuPPet, CaPt KHumaLO returNS tO SCHOOLS

Capt Khumalo has returned to child-care centres and schools across Cape Town on 17 February 2021 to resume his mission of educating children on safety issues, since he was forced to stop at the beginning of the state of National Disaster in March 2020.

Capt Khumalo has been a visible figure in South Africa for more than five years, building a good relationship between young people and the police, and helping the SAPS to achieve its mission of ensuring a safer South Africa through early childhood crime awareness education.

Capt Khumalo and his handler, Capt Granville Meyer, have also appeared on SABC 3 in April 2020 in a show called ‘KIDS News’. The duo has delivered safety messages in more than 420 classrooms since 2016, and taught more than 19 000 children.

The ‘Captain Khumalo’ programme is designed for children aged between three and 12 years. The programme is focused on teaching children protective behaviour, good decision-making and the consequences thereof, as well as encouraging them to turn to the police for help.

Have you heard of the ‘Emotional Bank Account’? This account works in a similar way as a money bank

account, but in this account you deposit and withdraw kindness and care, and in this special exchange build

trusting relationships.

An emotional bank account is an account of trust rather than money, it is based on how safe you feel with another person. This idea was developed by Stephen Covey and described in his best-selling book ‘The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People’.

Stephen Covey says: “When your trust level is high because you have made lots of deposits, communication is almost effortless. You can be yourself, and others will understand and appreciate you. Then, when you make mistakes or offend someone unexpectedly, you draw on that reserve while the relationship still maintains a solid level of trust.”

When you are discourteous, disrespectful of others, interrupt others, speak sarcastically or ignore others, your emotional bank account becomes overdrawn, because you have jeopardised the trust level. When the trust level is low, you need to be very careful of what you say. When the account is depleted and trust is broken, it can be quite difficult for people to accept any ‘deposit’ from you as they try to rebuild the relationship. So nurture all your relationships with love and kindness.

ways to build up deposits include:• developing understanding: Show people that you are interested in

understanding them by listening to them carefully and empathising with how they feel. Once you understand them better, you are more likely to treat them with kindness .

• keeping promises and commitments: Being on time and doing what you say you will do, helps to build trust and an emotional reserve with that person.

• clarifying expectations: When you clearly explain what you expect, it helps a person feel more secure and confident, and therefore more trusting. When we feel free to ask for what we want and receive a positive response, that is when trust is built.

• doing the ‘little things’: A smile, holding open a door, offering assistance, doing things you do not have to do; all these show respect and give the person a feeling of being noticed and even appreciated.

• demonstrating your integrity: When your behaviour aligns with your expressed values and beliefs, it builds trust.

• Apologising when you have made a mistake: Remember, this is an account of withdrawals and deposits. Any wrongdoing will be a withdrawal from the account, but a heartfelt apology will go a long way to repair any trust that was broken.

A few years ago, there was a popular children’s song that compared love to a magic penny that is only worth something if you give it away. This is so true. If you show love to others, it causes that love to grow and return to you. It also causes a ripple effect, just as if you dropped that penny into a wishing well.

It is crucial that parents help children grow in their capacity to love. Adults can learn much from children about love. So let us get back to the notion of love rippling outward. We can imagine that the ripples are love spreading outward from our innermost circle to family, our friends and further toward our outer circles of care. Let us explore how we can have an impact on the lives of others by showing love in tangible, practical ways.

love for your partner Everyone wants to feel spoiled and appreciated by their partner. Relationships

emOtiONaL BaNK aCCOuNtcompiled by Lt col chrisna Gerber

flourish when the little things we do and say become a habit and not an exception!• Surprise a loved one with a kind note, e.g. in their lunch box.

love for your family and friends• Take the time to really listen. • Cook a meal for a friend – e.g. deliver lasagne to a new mother.• Spend time with someone who might be lonely.

love for what you do and the passion you bring to everything you do at work Work should not be what you do to receive a pay check and a feeling of the sooner you can get out of the office to do what you really want to do, the better. • Hold the door open for those behind you.• Give someone a compliment – it can make their day, week, or even year!• Eat lunch or have tea with someone new.

love for your school community Have your children write about ways to improve their school and present the ideas to the principal or their teacher for consideration.

love for the community you live in• Get to know your neighbours and do things to increase the sense of care

and community in the area.• Write a note of encouragement and place it inside a book or magazine in

a doctor’s waiting room.• When paying for yourself, offer to pay for someone else’s too, e.g. in a

coffee shop.• Donate items you no longer use, to charity.

love for animals Think about what you can do to protect endangered species.

love of our country• Undertake a litter pick in your area.• Let children create cards to thank healthcare workers, policemen and

policewomen or soldiers etc for the work they are doing.

love for the earth Talk about environmental concerns and how small actions can have a big impact if we all do them.

The SApS’s social workers render an occupational social work service based on the following objectives:• Enhancement of individual wellness (e.g. enabling employees to deal

with challenges in the best possible way)• Enhancement of organisational wellness (e.g. ensuring that professional

relations exist between employees, colleagues, teams and commanders)• Ensuring dynamic work–life balance and productivity (focus on family vs

work).
