“Building a United Front Against Crime� FOREWORD FOR THE ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY SAFETY AND LIAISON, 2010/2011 PRESENTED BY MR TW MCHUNU, MEC FOR TRANSPORT, COMMUNITY SAFETY AND LIAISON KWAZULU-NATAL

Mr T.W. Mchunu MEC for Transport, Community Safety and Liaison

The fight against crime and corruption is one of the six priorities of our government. The financial year 2010/2011 saw the security cluster as a whole being galvanized to fight against crime to the best of its ability. It was critical that as a country, as a province, and as this department in particular, we sharpen our response to this priority in order to improve the quality of life of people, whilst also ensuring safety for all during the 2010 FIFA World Cup. As a response to this priority, the government through the Department launched an integrated, people driven and people centered approach, namely, Building a United Front Against Crime. The Department spent the past financial year rolling out this strategy in various districts through Operation Hlasela. We look forward to the complete roll out, the sustenance and the positive impact of the strategy. The Department played a critical role with regards to the hosting of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The joint collaboration of the Department, the Police and all its partners in the Justice, Crime Prevention and Security Cluster ensured that we hosted a successful and crime free FIFA World Cup. The work of the department in driving a fully functioning Justice, Crime Prevention and Security Cluster must be commended. A number of subcommittees were established under the auspices of the JCPS in the past financial year. The subcommittee on taxi violence led by the police, contributed markedly in achieving stability in the taxi industry. We look forward to a positive and a collaborative approach in the fight against crime through this cluster. Post the 2010 FIFA World Cup; the country experienced an unprecedented and longest public service strike. We commend the cooperative engagement of the Department, the Police and other departments in the management and coordination of security of the citizens of KwaZulu-Natal during the strike. The past financial year continuously kept the security cluster on its toes. The security plans and peace keeping interventions had to be finalized and be in place in time for the upcoming Local Government Elections to be held on 18 May 2011. In KwaZulu-Natal, the Hon. Premier established a Multi Party Political Oversight Committee on Local Government Elections. This committee was led by MEC for Community Safety and Liaison. Its objective was to promote a peaceful, free and fair 2011 Municipal Election. It included the Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, the Independent Electoral Commission, the Police, as well as other Criminal Justice System Structures. It also included political party leaders, traditional leaders and business. The interventions started in the later part of the financial year. We commend the objective of the task team in driving peaceful Local Government Elections through dialogue, in conflict ridden areas.

We concluded the financial year 2010/11 with our Departmental budget speech in March 2011 themed “People’s Action Against Crime.� The acid test for this theme is to translate it into practice. A summit on crime fighting structures is one such initiative towards bringing to life this theme. The organizational renewal process which started towards the end of the financial year is also a strategy of activism against crime. Its objective is to have people at a district level so as to deal with crime where it is located. Working with Municipalities, traditional leadership, religious formations, leadership at all levels, business, crime fighting structures, and the wider society, we envisage winning the fight against crime. We look forward to the implementation of these programmes in the upcoming financial year. We remain confident in the workings of the police in our Province. We encourage the wider society to participate in working with police in dealing with crime. This begins with all of us as individuals. We are mindful of the fact that war against the police comes from criminals. We plead for support for the police in general as they execute their mandate of fighting crime. We commend their good work in the fight against crime. Where individual members of the police do wrong, they must be reported so they can be dealt with. Our success in the Department hinges on our human resources. We commend you for your cooperation during the investigation process into allegations raised within the Department. We take pride in achievements and accolades awarded to this Department through your hard work. We commend the Department on a clean audit for the 2010/2011 financial year. As we reflect on the milestones and achievements of the year 2010, we are confident that we have the requisite skills and competencies vested in our human resources that will take this Department to greater heights. I thank you.

Mr T.W. Mchunu MEC for Transport, Community Safety and Liaison KwaZulu-Natal

Accounting Officer’s Overview INTRODUCTION STRATEGIC REVIEW The past financial year gave South Africa much to celebrate and be proud of. The year 2010 is one that reminded us as South Africans of many things, most importantly that; when we stand together in unity, we position ourselves to accomplish great things. By working together as a country, we did the unprecedented and became the first African country to host the 2010 FIFA World Cup, and what a success that was! The department also was proud to receive the Silver Award for the Human Resources Awards. Indeed an improvement on our Bronze Award the previous financial year! Colin Powell, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff (1989-93) once said: “Organization doesn’t really accomplish anything. Plans don’t accomplish anything, either. Theories of management don’t much matter. Endeavours succeed or fail because of the people involved. Only by attracting the best people will you accomplish great deeds.” In the same breath, it is said that structure, follows strategy. Now that our path has been clearly marked, the time has arrived when we must review our organisational design to match capacity with output, thereby bringing our services to the closest point of access to people. Towards this end, a consultative process was initiated for better alignment between the organisation and its desired position at local levels of the communities. On that note, I would like to recognise our Executive Authority, the MEC for Transport, Community Safety and Liaison for his vision that has resulted in the materialization of a great programme called “Building a United Front Against Crime”, which is driven by a project known as “Operation Hlasela”. This project has been hailed by law enforcement agencies as a great accomplishment in the plight to unite communities, the business sector, religious sectors, the police and all relevant structures in the fight against crime. All the departments’ projects are being consolidated under this Flagship Programme. Operation Hlasela has already been introduced in six Municipalities across the province. Through this initiative, communities are offered an opportunity to be part of the solution against the various criminal elements which threaten their safety and security. Through this department, the Province of KwaZulu-Natal continues to invest heavily in crime prevention initiatives. The Volunteer Social Crime Prevention Project continues to give our youth an opportunity to serve their communities by being anti-crime activists and working to improve relations between the police and the community. Our volunteers also played a vital role in ensuring a safe 2010 FIFA World Cup through their active crime prevention campaigns and participation as Marshalls at base camps and stadiums. Many were positively motivated through their close liaison with the soccer champions they met. As assigned by the Constitution, the department continues to play its oversight role over the SAPS. It is a matter of great pride that as years go by, the relationship between our Department and the SAPS grows stronger as greater synergy between our organisations is achieved, in the interests of community safety. These strides in cooperation have resulted in the continuation of the MEC’s Awards for Police Excellence, to reward individuals, specialised units, CPF’s and police stations that go beyond the call of duty to serve our communities with distinction.

“Building a United Front Against Crime” In an effort to ensure that Community Police Forums (CPFs) work sustainably and effectively, we started a process to re-constitute the structures, focussing on ensuring that they have a constitution, proper elections of members and adequate representation at the executive level. This follows our research and audit on CPF’s which revealed that there was high turnover in membership, many internal conflicts and the need for strong leadership which would create a model for CPF operational excellence in KwaZulu-Natal. Work has already begun that will lead to each district launching its own Community Safety Forum (CSF). This is one of the desired outcomes of the “Building a United Front Against Crime” initiative. The demand for special support programmes and Rights Education offered by the department is on the increase. Clearly, this is an affirmation of the quality of work done by the department in the promotion of human rights through Operation Khuz’mhlola. We have long realised that in order to fight any crime challenge, we have to know its root cause. The department generated research projects, which will inform strategies to combat different crime challenges particularly the vulnerable groups. Over the past financial year, our teams have worked hard to ensure that the department delivers on its targets, despite the many challenges we faced in the year. With the foundations having being laid solid, we are now geared to continue the good work and take our program of Building a United Front Against Crime even further, to every corner of our Province.

STRATEGIC REVIEW Despite being subjected to stringent budgetary cuts and the implementation of the cost containment strategy, the Department has been able to set high standards and achieve its service delivery targets. This department has a good history for being able to align its strategies and plans to the directives pronounced through the policy statements. It is on that very basis that we have been able to review our past strategies and come up with a new strategic plan for the years 2010-2015.

ADMINISTRATIVE OVERVIEW During the year under review, the Department faced serious challenges as a result of the loss of key personnel who have exited the service for various reasons. The Department had to make many adjustments since a large percentage of senior management posts still remain unfilled. With cost cutting measures announced in the province, some senior management and middle management posts that had become vacant were not filled. This however did not result in service delivery being compromised as innovative means were used to ensure that productivity and service delivery was pursued vehemently. Creating public awareness and mobilising communities and stakeholders in a united effort to root out crime, was our main focus over the past financial year, in line with “Building a United Front Against Crime”.

GOVERNANCE OVERVIEW As part of maintaining good governance in the Public Service, this Department has ensured strict compliance with the regulatory provisions for concluding performance agreements for all SMS members. These agreements assist the Department to monitor service delivery against departmental strategic and operational objectives and targets. All conflict of interests is addressed through the declaration of such in all activities such as procurement, recruitment and evaluating of tenders. We have a 100% compliance rate with SMS members and they have all signed and submitted their disclosure of business interests. The Department also strives to fill all posts as soon as possible. The department also ensures that officials of the department act within the public service code of good conduct.

SERVICE DELIVERY OVERVIEW The Department has maintained its exceptional performance in a domain which is under intense public scrutiny, namely crime and policing. As the SAPS introduced new crime fighting strategies, this department has a responsibility to see if those strategies have been implemented the way they should or bearing the desired results. The strategic focus of the Department is to evaluate police service delivery and compliance with national policy standards and make recommendations for redress where required. Demand is driven by community needs, changing crime patterns and the level of complaints received.

COMPLAINTS MANAGEMENT The primary focus of attention, particularly in recent times has been the ability of the Department to address service delivery complaints against the police to support the raising of service standards. The Department’s aggressive approach in this arena of its scope has proved to be successful and we have close cooperation with the SAPS and the ICD to expedite service delivery complaints.

SPECIAL PROJECTS The Department of Community Safety and Liaison has been further involved in inter-sectoral and special projects all geared towards the fight against crime. In the current financial year for instance, a number of projects were planned to integrate SAPS and communities of Umzimkhulu. The stolen goods campaign was targeted in the area and the SAPS welcomed the ability to reach communities and turn the tide of buying stolen goods.

FIFA FOOTBALL WORLD CUP The Department has played a crucial role with regards to 2010 FWC. Our role was to support and provide input to the Provincial 2010 safety plans. Provincial quarterly meetings were held in which the Department provided this input. Volunteers and other personnel were deployed to districts to work on local safety plans. The department was commended for its contribution through the crime awareness campaigns, volunteer support base and facilitation of the JCPS Cluster to produce an integrated approach to safety management for a Mega World Event.

“Building a United Front Against Crime”

COMMUNITY POLICING Central to our Constitutional mandate of promoting good relations between the police and the community, is the concept of community policing. Community Policing Forums are statutory structures that are established to ensure civilians are well serviced by the police service. It is within this context that we invest our resources on Community Policing Forums so that they are empowered to play their roles in a meaningful way in every community. They are seen as guardians of democratic civilian oversight.

VICTIM EMPOWERMENT The Department has embarked on a number of initiatives geared towards empowering the victims of crime. These include network fora in which we participate as a department such as the provincial gender forum, programmes in support of victims of crime such as the widowhood forum, awareness campaigns which are targeted at preventing people from becoming victims of crime. The Department has travelled the length and breadth of KwaZulu-Natal in support of the above mentioned initiatives within the period under review. Operation Khuz’mhlola is well entrenched in communities and will continue to reach out to the disadvantaged communities in order to ensure access to justice is a reality and not a notion.

SOCIAL CRIME PREVENTION & RESEARCH The Department has a proactive approach in the fight against crime. This is done through research surveys as well as through proactive awareness campaigns. Two research Surveys were conducted by the Department namely; • •

Alcohol and Substance Abuse and; The Safety of Children in KwaZulu-Natal.

This section has established our first Statistical Crime Analysis tool for the department, which is ground breaking and which will then give us the impetus to make sound recommendations for improvements in policing and to have spatial planning as a guide for our targeted interventions. The Integrated Youth Development Strategy (IYDS) is being rolled out in the province and we have grown the number of youth we have offered skills to and who we have now enlisted as anti-crime activists.

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT Financial management has improved progressively and the Department has received unqualified audits since inception. The close monitoring of the budget has ensured that appropriated funds are effectively and efficiently utilized.

SERVICE DELIVERY CHALLENGES The service delivery challenges encountered during the year included: Maintaining constant contact with stakeholders in ensuring an integrated approach to policing and crime prevention is adopted, especially municipalities; Generating innovative programmes to drive the targets set for the Department; Refining existing programmes and processes to optimise service delivery and align them under the new concept of the United Front Against Crime.

Overview of the service delivery environment for 2010/11 Overall performance Problems encountered The service delivery challenges encountered during the year included: • • • • • • • •

- 14 -

Internal labour disputes; National Public Service strike action; Data capturing also remained a challenge as all information about beneficiaries has to be uploaded in the web-based system one by one (names, identity numbers, addresses, etc); Resistance from some District leaders, e.g. Mayors, Station Commanders and CPF members and political interference posed a lot of challenges during consultation workshops, selection panels, and subsequent deployment of volunteers; Non-cooperation by certain stakeholders (guest speakers) during campaigns and poor attendance by community members during campaigns remained a challenge. It also put a lot of strain to team members in the execution of these campaigns; Accessibility for the community to the police stations is difficult due to large distances to be travelled and hazardous terrain. This often results in delays in reporting cases or cases not being reported at all; There is limited feedback to the community regarding progress in cases. This difficulty often arises from lack of telephones and a lack of fixed addresses; The police do not always attend to crime incidents promptly, due to a shortage of vehicles and/or manpower at many stations;


“Building a United Front Against Crime” • • • • •

• • • •

There are few stations with adequate victim friendly facilities and training for members to work in these centres; Poorly structured layouts of Community Service Centres (CSCs) for proper and adequate service delivery; Education of communities on the functioning of the Criminal Justice System and general policing matters; The increase of vigilantism from different districts of KwaZulu-Natal affects SAPS service delivery; The police ratio against the population is the greatest challenge in the fight against crime. Certain areas are still underdeveloped hence difficulties are experienced which cause delays in investigations. The process of restructuring has also had a slight impact on service delivery; In relation to the assessment of Victim Friendly Facilities (VFFs), the SAPS does not have an allocated budget for VFFs which creates a challenge in terms of ownership of the VFFs between the Department of Community Safety and Liaison and SAPS, e.g. where monetary and material support is required, SAPS feels the DCSL should provide this but where credit is due, SAPS claims ownership; In some instances the victim comes to the police station with a small baby who needs to be provided with milk formula and baby nappies. This is a challenge for SAPS; There are no clearly defined roles, mandates and responsibilities for the participation of youth in CPFs and some CPF Youth desks are dysfunctional; There is a lack of common understanding amongst the main stakeholders (SAPS, Provincial Board and the DCSL) with regard to their roles in relation to CPFs in the Province. This calls for the development of guidelines for taking the partnership forward; There is a lack of conceptual understanding of community policing by most SAPS members and community members.

Virements The Department undertook minimal virements of R6 571-27 due to unforeseen payments for injury on duty. The virements was undertaken within Program 1: Goods and Services. The approval was granted by the Accounting Officer. Roll-overs There were no roll-overs reported for the year under review. Significant Developments The Department has commenced with the restructuring process whereby the Department intends establishing District Offices. This process will continue in the new financial year and will also have financial implications.

Overview of the organizational environment for 2010/11 The Department continued to operate smoothly without service delivery being hampered in any way despite having lost some staff members during the year as a result of death and staff career moves. Thanks to the strong sense of team spirit and commitment by the existing staff members, the department maintained the high standards expected from it. As part of the cost containment strategy of the Province, a moratorium was placed in the filling of vacant posts. Within the Province, a high proportion of the youth of working age are still unemployed. Children continue to be exposed to violent behaviour in their homes and this is replicated in the school environment. The economic developments currently underway in the Province bode well for addressing the socioeconomic drivers of crime. As more people gain employment and raise the quality of their lives, the social pressures that lead to criminal and anti-social behaviour will no doubt dwindle. Resignations Following the resignation of the Manager for Special Projects and Inter-sectoral Collaboration, an acting manager was appointed to alleviate the challenges experienced as a result of this post not being filled during the year. This directorate is responsible for the Department’s major project, namely, the Volunteer Social Crime Prevention Project (VSCPP). Strike Actions Several disruptions were encountered by the department during the year due to internal labour disputes. An independent investigating team was appointed by the MEC: Transport, Community Safety and Liaison to investigate and report on the disputes/allegations raised by union members. The Department’s service delivery schedule was also interrupted by the national labour strike in the public service. Restructuring Plans The Department initiated a restructuring process. This restructuring process is designed to allow the Department to become more visible in the districts by opening district offices. It is envisaged that this process will be concluded in the 2011/12 financial year.

Key policy developments and legislative changes There are 2 pieces of legislation that would have a direct impact on the Department’s plans and activities and these are: • •

10. Transfer payments There were no transfer payments during the year to any public entities.

11. Conditional grants and earmarked funds The Department has not been allocated any conditional grants. Earmarked funds have been set as follows: • • •

Creating Public Awareness Improving the effectiveness of SAPS Umzimkhulu

12. Capital investment, maintenance and asset management plan Capital Investments The Department is not capital intensive as it provides services rather than assets for use by third parties. Accordingly, capital plans principally revolve around acquisition of motor vehicles, equipment and furniture for existing staff.

Asset Management Assets are acquired, recorded, controlled, maintained and disposed of by the Department in compliance with Supply Chain Management.

“Building a United Front Against Crime” INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SUB-DIRECTORATE For the first time during 2010-2011 a comprehensive study was undertaken by the IT support staff in conjunction with the Auditor-General and the Unembeza Project whereby shortcomings were identified insofar as network security. Therefore, in order to ensure that the network can be effectively administered as stated in the MISS and in terms of the general network security requirements. In this regard various software packages such as Suse Linux, Zenworks, Symantec Backup Exec, GWAVA and Symantec Endpoint Protection have been purchased and are in the process of being installed. Further to the above the IT sub-directorate has also developed a plan to replace all out dated computers with newer ones as well as upgrade to software packages such as Microsoft Office 2010, Windows 7, and GroupWise 8. The Department has entered into a new business agreement and four service level agreements with State Information Technology Agency (SITA) which defines the service working relationship between the two institutions. The above will assist the Department to meet service delivery requirements as well as place emphasis on operational efficiencies and in keeping with new efficient ways of doing things and to align the Department’s business with Information Technology solutions. COMMUNICATIONS SUB-DIRECTORATE Creation of Public Awareness This was a valuable exercise as it ensured that the efforts of the department becoming increasingly known and noticeable among our stakeholders and communities at large. Integrated Communication Communications sub-directorate assisted the Office of The Premier towards the development of a Provincial Communications Strategy, which includes media bulk buying, communicating messages government in an integrated approach, and thereby avoiding unwanted service delivery protest by the communities. On the 21st of January 2010, the department successfully launched and rolled out the programme of Building a United Front Against Crime. Present at the launch was the Premier of KwaZulu-Natal, Dr ZL Mkhize and other MEC’s. This is an integrated anti-crime strategy which seeks to rally communities behind the crime fighting cause, using Operation Hlasela as a vehicle to roll it out throughout the Province of KwaZulu-Natal. This Programme has been rolled out in six district municipalities and has contributed greatly in getting buy-in on the implementation of projects at a local level. On that regard, it became increasingly important to communicate robustly with communities at district and provincial level, so that they are not only aware of the department’s programs, but they also get involved in them, so that crime and criminals do not have room to operate in our society. Community involvement is exactly what Building a United Front Against Crime is about.

“Building a United Front Against Crime” The unit also supported the Department in the coordination of the quarterly KZN JCPS Cluster sittings and the monitoring of the implementation of the Program of Action. As part of the JCPS joint public education and engagement, the unit gave support to the Cluster in facilitating the 1st Colloquium of KAPLS (KwaZulu-Natal Association of Public Service Lawyers) held in Durban to dialogue on “the potential for corruption where there is a conflict of interest in the Public Service”. To engage on the topic, eminent professionals from the private and public sector, organized labour and legal academics were invited. Through the support of the unit, the Cluster was able to ensure that the urgent needs of communities living in the Uganda Informal Settlement in Umlazi to get access to basic needs such as social grants, birth and death certificates as well as identity documents were addressed. In addition to this immediate support, the Cluster also facilitated the launch of a law clinic supported by public servants who give of their own time to offer their legal expertise to the community free of charge. These efforts would doubtlessly ensure that the community would not be disenfranchised during upcoming elections and the ideals of a caring government are realized. The unit rendered legal support to the Department when it renewed the partnership with private sector lawyers to help facilitate an environment for a free and fair election in the province. The unit gave line function managers support during the negotiations in addition to the drafting of agreements. Several legal documents were edited and drafted timely while taking care to ensure that they are legally sound. Such documents included Cabinet Memoranda, Service Level Agreements and temporary employment contracts. The response in no small measure ensured that the Directorate achieved their service targets. Of the legal opinions rendered for the period, the most noteworthy were on the Civilian Secretariat for Police Services Bill and the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) Bills. These opinions were not only of value to the MEC and the Department, but also to external stakeholders. Throughout the year the unit continued to provide support to employees by offering advise on their rights regarding Garnishee Orders and legal related challenges they may experience. Through the interventions of the unit, several Garnishee Orders were referred back to the claimants to be reviewed resulting in positive outcomes for employees, thereby making a positive contribution to their wellbeing. In conclusion, the unit provided essential legal services to the MEC and the Department during the year which assisted the Department in meeting its legal obligations.

KEY ACTIVITIES OF THE YEAR 2010/11 • • • • • • •

35 Station evaluations undertaken which includes 3 Metro police stations. 33 Victim Support centres assessed. 5 Specialized units evaluated 33 interventions at police stations 6 major seasonal operations evaluated 12 education and training session to empower and capacitate personnel 14 unannounced visits were conducted to assess effective policing

The station evaluation toolkit was further refined and streamlined through a work study to make it more user- friendly.

The component hosted its fourth successive community awards for police excellence in 2010-11 financial year (MEC’s Awards.) The main purpose of the project is to entrench and promote the concept of community policing by recognizing and rewarding police for best practise and publicly celebrating achievements. The development process of criteria was informed by monitoring and evaluation reports and engagement with the community. Communities have become more aware of the duties of the police and the awards have created great competition within the ranks in service delivery to the community at large.

“Building a United Front Against Crime” •

The component had during evaluations identified stations that were very far from the community. Communities had to travel +- 100 kms to the stations to lay a complaint. Through the interventions of the component, relevant stakeholders in the areas met and identified the need for the centralisation of the Nkandla, Msinga and Wartburg stations. The need for a satellite station in each area was also identified through the intervention of the component. The following satellite stations were formed, Emachunwini in Msinga, KwaGcumisa Tribal Court in Wartburg and the KwaNxamalala satellite station in Nkandla

The component during evaluations identified stations that had poor service delivery levels at Ekuvukeni, Elandslaagte, Intsikeni and Hlabisa due to shortages of resources in the form of infrastructure, manpower, vehicles, equipment, computers and office space. General vehicle repairs take too long in the government garage for minor repairs. At Ekuvukeni police station the component managed to liaise with Provincial Commissioner’s office regarding the needs of the station such as shortage vehicles and a toilet to cater for the needs of disabled community members. The toilet and vehicles were successfully allocated to the station. Through the intervention of this component the Elandslaagte police station received new vehicles and is currently under reconstruction. At Hlabisa there was a great shortage of vehicles in the detective unit and through the intervention of this component two additional vans were allocated to the unit.

The component was also intensely involved in resolving farm conflicts between farm workers, farm residents and commercial farmers especially on Rietvlei, Vryheid ,Uthrect and Danhauser farms. Service Delivery Evaluation component took the initiative to co-ordinate meetings where all the affected parties came together to discuss critical issues.

The component engaged with and Durban Metro Police Services (DMPS) regarding their visible policing plans over the festive season and monitored the visible policing operations undertaken during this period. It was pleasing to note that there was increased visible policing over the festive season and stations noted a decrease in the incidents of crime in comparison to previous festive seasons.

Service Delivery Evaluation component also played a critical role in monitoring SAPS operations during the 2010 FIFA World Cup in the province of KwaZulu-Natal.

As per MEC’s directive, task teams were formed to conduct Operation Hlasela Launches in the following areas Mooi River, Kwamashu, Osizweni and Edumbe.

KEY SUCCESSES OF THE YEAR 2010/2011 • • •

The component participated in visits with the MEC and HOD so as to develop strategic relationships with the Focussing on “Building a United Front Against Crime” Hosting of the fourth MEC’s Community Awards for Police Excellence. The main purpose of the project is to entrench and promote the concept of community policing by recognizing and rewarding police for best practise and to publicly celebrate achievements. Service Delivery and Evaluation directorate co-ordinated and participated in the basic training courses that were held in 11 districts in Kwa-Zulu-Natal, the courses offered were on Crime Prevention and Gender Based Violence. Approximately 500 members were capacitated in these courses The component developed a database profiling all stations within the province.

KEY TRENDS IDENTIFIED Community • • • • • • • • • •

Accessibility for the community to the police stations is difficult due to large distances to be travelled and hazardous terrain. This often results in delays in reporting cases or cases not being reported at all. There is a need to reconsider the locations of police stations in relation to the communities they serve. There is limited feedback to the community regarding progress of cases. This difficulty at times is made worst by lack of communication challenges like telephones and cellular phones and lack of fixed addresses. Allocation of resources for stations is not equitable in terms of needs and environmental demands. Crime scenes are sometimes not properly managed. There are challenges with forensic services. The community reports that police do not usually attend to crime incidents promptly, due to a shortage of vehicles and/or manpower at many stations. Some police stations in remote areas do not have sufficient 4X4 vehicles for policing areas that are inaccessible to conventional vehicles. Many investigating officers are overstretched and overworked, which often results in the lack of quality of investigations Due to insufficient training or transfer of skills the quality of statement-taking does not always meet the required standard. Contradictory or unintelligible statements often result in a mistrial or in cases being withdrawn due to conflicting evidence.

METRO •

All resource allocation is done from Headquarters.

WAY FORWARD AS IDENTIFIED THROUGH TRENDS Community • • • •

The current training being undertaken with CPF members by the Department, through its Community Liaison Chief Directorate, needs to be extended and further rolled out to the community, not just the executive members of the CPF’s. The SAPS need to be engaged in investigating the possibility of rolling out further satellite stations where there is clear demand based on the size of areas to be policed and the accessibility of the stations. The Department has begun to undertake research regarding the location of police stations in relation to the community it serves. There is a need for the Department to engage with local government, the SAPS and the community regarding communication strategies especially in areas where there are no fixed addresses or easy telephonic access with complainants.

SAPS • •

- 36 -

The component needs to conduct further research on resource allocation and the RAG document as well as benchmarking standards for policing resources. The component needs to engage on intensifying its training on statement-taking, as well as crime scene management.


“Building a United Front Against Crime” Internal In addition to the points already noted above, the component has engaged in on-going introspections to identify ways of improving its internal efficiencies and effectiveness. These include: •

Increase the use of scientific methods to identify problematic areas in police service delivery. The component has embraced a scientific approach towards determining norms and standards in police service delivery against which to audit stations. These benchmarking protocols in turn may be used to assist in ensuring improved service delivery and policing. Improving the tools and instruments used to drive the information-gathering process, by engaging in the national process to automate the National Monitoring and Evaluation Tool (NMET). Automating the time-consuming and labour-intensive process of collecting and interpreting large volumes of information through a webbased management system will enable service monitors to seamlessly track service delivery trends and generate credible management reports on policing in the province. In the meantime, the component has worked hard to generate laboursaving efficiencies by streamlining its current manual system. The component has embarked on an aggressive drive to further strengthen its “intelligence” capability. The component had developed a knowledge base, as evidenced in its profiling of the province’s policing capacity, it is looking to position itself further as a “one-stop” source of information to the MEC. The component is placing heavy emphasis on deepening the quality of its reports. Raising the quality of its reports to the level of a scientific discipline is an ongoing process and requires painstaking application and effort.

Further areas to improve the component’s direction and development have been identified and planning is being undertaken on the following: •

Quarterly Review Sessions

The Department has realised the need to improve the flow of information between ourselves and our key stakeholder. Therefore quarterly review sessions are planned as a means of improving information flow. Where urgent recommendations can be discussed at length and resolutions be made immediately.

MEC’s Community Awards For Police Excellence

The annual MEC’s Community Awards For Police Excellence that recognizes and rewards best police practice, which the MEC for Transport, Community Safety & Liaison will personally champion. This will be done on an annual basis, with incentives provided to promote a culture of service excellence in police service.

Annual Report

It reflects/contains consolidation of all the stations evaluated over the past financial year. A report of findings and recommendations for further effective service delivery is also shared with SAPS.

ACTIVITIES THAT CONTRIBUTED TO THE PROVINCIAL GROWTH DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY (PGDS) • •

The Component contributed to the PGDS and strategic goal of strengthening governance and service delivery through its successful interventions to improve service delivery at stations. In addition, it also provided an increased volume of information on police services in the Province in the form of reports on Police Stations, Metro Police Services, visible policing and environmental analysis of areas, to further inform improved governance.

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES •

- 38 -

High movements of people between underdeveloped rural areas, and newly developing urban and economic nodal areas. High movements of people make it difficult to track complainants, and monitor the movements of suspects, this occurs with frequency between provinces. Need to engage with business regarding the provision of basic services to more rural communities, e.g. banking, groceries. Need for business to be engaged regarding the details of all staff employed, to provide improved understanding of the movement of people and the economic reach of businesses. There is a need to increase the information flow between stations that fall along provincial borders. Porous borders with neighboring countries. Increased influxes of foreigners into the country make it difficult to monitor those that are legal versus those that are not. It also increases the threat to safety and security, as some foreigners who are in the country illegally may become involved in criminal activities in order to survive. Need to ensure that there are adequate crime fighting treaties (including extradition treaties) with neighboring countries, so as to assist with arrests and recoveries in foreign territory. Poor telecommunication systems and support. Telephone lines, fax lines, and computer systems can be down for a number of days, compromising investigation of cases and community interaction with stations. Need to develop a 24hr SITA (State Information Technology Agency) helpline for computer related issues. The National Department for Posts and Telecommunications need to be engaged with regards to the upgrading of telephone lines to stations. Varying levels of transport infrastructure. Some areas have very poorly maintained gravel roads, making it difficult for the police to provide adequate services to the community they serve. The Department of Transport needs to be engaged regarding the maintenance of gravel roads in the Province. Environmental design. Many under-resourced areas lack adequate street lighting to prevent “dark spots”, thus creating areas conducive for criminal activities. Areas with overgrown vegetation need to be cleared and managed on an on-going basis to remove hideouts for criminals. Local municipalities need to have included in their IDP’s and Safety Plans, strategies for ensuring safer environmental design as well as advertising contact details for reporting broken street lights or areas of overgrown vegetation. Local municipalities need to be engaged more robustly on clearing areas that serve as hideouts or “dumping grounds” for criminals

Interactions with other Departments in the Justice Cluster. There is a need for the Justice Crime Prevention and Security Cluster (JCPS) to continue to address the backlog of cases.

LEGISLATIVE CHANGES • • •

The Civilian Secretariat for Police Service Bill 2010 and the Independent Police Investigative Directorate Bill 2010 will be passed shortly to improve service delivery at station levels within KwaZulu-Natal. The Public Finance Management Act as a guide to curb irregular expenditure. The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa as the supreme law of the country to promote human rights and equality

COMPLAINTS MANAGEMENT In order to ensure that citizens obtain action and information from the SAPS in respect of complaints against the police, this unit strives to ensure that all matters are dealt with sympathetically, constructively and professionally. STRATEGIC GOAL To promote democratic accountability and transparency in the Police services and direct the South African Police Services towards effectively addressing provincial needs and priorities.

Facilitating the strategy for the prevention of the stock theft Seven (7) meetings were held in Dundee, Howick, Nsikeni, Matatiele, Pretoria, Kokstad and Pietermaritzburg to facilitate the development of a plan for the prevention of stock theft. This plan was subsequently developed on 27 January 2011 and will be a vital mechanism in curbing stock theft which in turn will contribute towards rural development aspirations of our government. Monitoring of taxi conflict The directorate attended six (6) meetings to resolve conflicts between taxi associations in Ethekwini, Camperdown, Dolphin Coast, Port Shepstone, Bergville and Mandeni. Trend analyses reports These are compiled monthly to identify trends which may redirect the operations of this department and the South African Police Service. Twelve (12) Reports were compiled for this period. Complaints received during this period revealed a lack of feedback to complainants, poor investigations, enquiries, poor service delivery, police misconduct, stock theft, farming community challenges, taxi conflict complaints pertaining to other Departments and requests for satellite police stations. The program of Building a United Front Against Crime which is driven by ‘Operation Hlasela’ is used to attend to identified complaints trends. The program is used to involve community structures in the fight against crime. The program is also used to educate the KwaZulu-Natal community in the functioning of the justice system. Stock theft complaints have lead to the establishment of vigilante groups by different communities that have lost confidence in the services provided by their local police stations. The establishment of vigilante groups which are operating in Umzinyathi, Ulundi and Amajuba districts is of great concern for the directorate and the Department. Community members who are suspected of being stock theft criminals are victimised by these structures. The department is visiting the affected areas to address conflicts related to this issue. The following areas have been identified as Hotspot areas for stock theft: • • • • • • • • •

Ladysmith, Bulwer, Himeville, Utrecht, Ezakheni, Bergville, KwaMbonambi, Hlobane, and Dumbe.

Farming Community Conflicts between farmers and farm workers are affecting the community under Underburg, Uthukela, Amajuba, Umzinyathi and Ulundi Districts. The affected areas were visited by the MEC and the department to address the matter.

“Building a United Front Against Crime” Taxi Conflict The conflicts between taxi associations are affecting the transport industry and pose a threat to commuters. The department is working in partnership with the Department of Transport and the provincial police to monitor and investigate taxi conflict in KwaZulu-Natal. The areas attended to where taxi related conflicts had surfaced included Ethekwini, Mandini, Bergville, Port Shepstone, and Camperdown. The directorate exceeded the targets in the management of complaints as well as with the staging of district consultative forums. Stakeholders Participation Forums A total of twenty-six (26) educational campaigns were staged throughout the province to engage communities in the fight against crime, and were held as follows: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

CHALLENGES • • • • • • • •

Detectives are overloaded with case dockets and that compromises effective and satisfactory investigation of cases; The Department and the MEC are concerned with granting of bail by the courts to suspects who are involved in other criminal activities; Escalation of vigilante activities in relation to stock theft matters; Conflict between farmers and farm workers in Zululand, Amajuba, Sisonke and Umzinyathi Districts; Some complainants lack the understanding on the nature of policing processes and have high expectations on the outcome of their complaints; Complainants lack knowledge of certain aspects required by the Justice System in order to arrest, prosecute and to convict the suspect; Some police stations were constructed away from the communities and community members have to travel long distances in order to report cases; Investigators are not furnishing feedback to complainants with regard to their cases. Police stations are still not responding timorously to community emergency complaints;

NEGATIVE FINDINGS ON THE PART OF THE COMMUNITY • • • • •

They don’t assist the police in the investigation of cases even if they have witnessed the occurrence of the crime; Vigilante groups are established by communities from different parts of the province to fight crime especially stock theft cases and this is taking the law into their own hands; Complainants have high expectations after lodging cases with the police. They expect the police to arrest without sufficient evidence or information, which empowers the police to act; They don’t understand the right to bail applications; The release on bail of suspects by court causes conflict between the police and the community.

KEY SUCCESSES IN ADDRESSING CHALLENGES • • • • • • • •

The Department meets with the ICD, SAPS, Justice, NGO’s, CBO’s to discuss trends of complaints and other issues that impact on crime. The department is training SAPS members on crime prevention and the investigation of cases. Twenty seven districts Consultative Meetings were staged to engage and educate the community on policing matters. The directorate is receiving positive responses from the local municipalities, JCPS cluster members and as well as from other stakeholders. During community outreach programs all departments’ stakeholders are invited such as JCPS cluster members, political organizations, FBO’s, Municipality, NGO’s Amakhosi and CBO’s. Critical complaints are also sent to the Provincial JCPS Cluster for directives. Seven Stock Theft meetings were held to address stock theft matters. Six meetings were attended to address taxi conflicts in KZN. The directorate is also leading the process to address Provincial Cross Border Crime


“Building a United Front Against Crime� COMMUNITY LIAISON SOCIAL CRIME PREVENTION AND RESEARCH The main objective of this Directorate is to ensure that the social drivers of crime receive targeted attention through social crime prevention programmes. Any phenomena that predispose individuals towards criminal and anti-social behaviour are addressed through innovative and research driven capacitation and related awareness programs. The targets set out in the annual performance plan and the results achieved are set out in the table below:

Significant Successes: Research in Social Crime Prevention In response to disturbing findings contained in the latest Youth Risk Behaviour Survey regarding alcohol consumption by youth, the Department conducted research on ways of preventing alcohol use by young people. This led to the development of a Behaviour Change Programme designed in collaboration with SANCA. Some 300 Grade 9 Learners throughout the Province completed the pilot phase of the programme. Research was also conducted to determine what issues are emerging in IDPs as priority community safety needs, the manner in which they are being determined and how they are being responded to in IDPs in terms of local crime prevention planning. This follows work done by the Department to support Municipalities in incorporating Safety Plans into their IDPs.

The latest release of the SAPS annual crime statistics have been extensively analysed and repackaged to make it both easily accessible and more informative to users. Now, for the first time in this Province, by accessing the Department’s website and at the click of a button, users of the crime database can glean important information on crime at police station and cluster level. They can also look at rankings which show how stations compare against each other in terms of reported crimes and can examine changing Provincial crime patterns over time. Integrated Youth Development Strategy (IYDS) The IYDS had been a tool to facilitate crime prevention at District and Local level. The Building of United Front Against Crime Programme was implemented by stakeholders (SAPS, Municipalities, Department of Sport and Recreation, CPF, Traditional Leadership, Youth structures, ex-offenders and communities). Municipalities played a crucial role in the implementation of the IYDS through the Sport Against Crime Programme. Sisonke District played an outstanding role in the facilitation of the programme, extending implementation to three additional wards at the cost of the Municipality. This is an indication that Municipalities are grasping the important role they have to play in crime prevention. Capacity-Building of Amakhosi and Traditional Council Members The Department provided training to Amakhosi and Traditional Council members on social crime prevention. The primary goal of this programme was to encourage traditional leaders to contribute towards the strengthening of families thereby contributing to moral regeneration which is a prerequisite for producing resilient citizens and contributing to stability in communities. They were also introduced to the Child Justice Act and its resultant diversion programme for children in conflict with the law. Their eminent role as leaders in their communities was explained, as was the advantages of alternative sentencing as espoused by the Act. Training was offered to the following Districts:

NAME OF HOUSE OF TRADITIONAL LEADERS Zululand Local House Amajuba Umgungundlovu Uthukela Total

NUMBER TRAINED 174 89 74 281 618

The training program will be extended to Sisonke, Ilembe, Umzinyathi Districts and to the Ethekwini Metro in 2011/2012. Ugu and Uthungulu Districts will be covered in future roll-outs as well. Substance Abuse Prevention In response to the high substance abuse levels in the Province – in particular the use of the drug Whoonga - awareness material in the form of a Drug Supplement and Drug Chart were distributed via newspapers and at various public events. The Chart and Supplement appeared in The Post on 2 February and 30 March 2011 respectively, and in the Daily News on 4 April 2011 (Chart) and 5 April 2011 (Supplement). The material has also been translated into IsiZulu. The department also provided Peer Educator training to 80 volunteers from VSCPP, which was about identifying drug consumption symptoms and promotion of youth resilience to substance abuse.

There is also a lack of buy-in from other districts as it is seen as a political move. 68 The introduction of BUFAC / Operation Hlasela increased the demand for the Directorate to consult with various stakeholders thus the number of meetings rose.


“Building a United Front Against Crime” Significant Successes Thathulwazi The Directorate did well with regard to rolling out the provincial training initiative dubbed Thathulwazi. Through this project, additional members of CPFs have received training on Financial and Project Management. These valuable skills will assist in ensuring sustainability of CPFs and also increase prospects of members securing employment. Community Safety Forums (CSFs) The directorate was able to establish 15 CSFs. It was noticed that understanding of this structure was clearer at local than compared to district municipality level. Communities-in-Dialogue Programme (CIDPs) The Directorate succeeded in conducting various CIDPs particularly in Mombeni, Mafakathini and Umtshezi areas. This programme has assisted the department to make available to communities a wellstructured platform for communities to have a dialogue around issues that may have led to conflict. Integrated Consultative Meetings The introduction of the “Building a United Front Against Crime” programme that involves Operation Hlasela promoted the facilitation of numerous consultative meetings. Despite ensuring enhanced engagement between the department and the community at local level, this improved inter-governmental relationship as some of the stakeholders were State departments. Trends identified Communities were more unstable than the previous years, which may have been due to the recent Municipal elections. This demanded the directorate to engage more with communities in ensuring that safety and security in such communities is preserved. Strategies as a way forward BUFAC / Operation Hlasela are the most relevant programmes that will ensure effective corporative governance. Contribution to the PGDS • •

The decrease in the number is as a result of some volunteers getting permanent employment and withdrawing from the Project Additional Awareness Campaigns were conducted in schools around Ethekwini Metro to address Drug Abuse (Whoonga)

Significant Successes 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup The Special Projects and Intersectoral Collaboration Directorate through its Volunteer Crime Prevention Project deployed 940 volunteers to provide security and marshalling services at the Public Viewing Areas in all eleven District Municipalities. The volunteers worked closely with SAPS and Private Security to ensure safety of the community members that were making use of the PVA’s to watch 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup matches.

- 52 -


“Building a United Front Against Crime” The rest of the volunteers remained in their respective areas for monitoring purposes which contributed to the reduction in crime and a corresponding reduction in the fear of crime and the promotion of KwaZulu-Natal as a safe place for communities, tourists and businesses. Crime Awareness Campaigns The Directorate in partnership with Social Crime Prevention and Research Directorate embarked on School Safety Awareness campaigns, which included Motivational Talks, Edutainment Sessions and events with anti-drug abuse messages. Various engagements were made at the following districts, Zululand, Ilembe, Uthukela, Uthungulu, Umzinyathi and Ethekwini Metro. Festive Season and Easter Holiday Safety and Security Strategy The Province of KwaZulu-Natal faces a challenge presented by the high influx of local and international tourists during the festive season, including Easter holiday, thereby making it to be a critical area in terms of safety and security. Volunteers played a remarkable role in ensuring that the Province has an incident-free festive season. They also formed part of the deployment strategy for all Security Forces (SAPS, Metro Police, SANDF, and RTI) by taking part on operations conducted by these forces during the festive season. Volunteer Deployment The Department deployed Crime Prevention Volunteers in all districts, with the key objective of galvanizing communities for crime prevention and behavioural change. The outcome of this deployment is a reduction in crime and a rapid response to the incidences of crime. Volunteers compliment the activities of the Department, the CPFs, and the established policing structures. The volunteers are also involved in conducting day-to-day activities by facilitating localized crime prevention priorities and community activism against crime, such as door-to-door campaigns, public meetings, consultative forums and early warning activities. They also form part of the Provincial Operation Sukuma Sakhe activities where they assist in conducting household profiling in their respective districts. Trends identified •

The cooperation of SAPS, Municipalities and the inclusion of Volunteers in the safety and security plans in all areas is critical for the integrated approach in crime prevention and the promotion of safer communities.

Strategies as a way forward •

Maintaining good relations with provincial stakeholders and other crime prevention structures in ensuring an integrated approach in crime prevention in the Province.

Contribution to the PGDS • • •

Strengthening governance; Human capability development; Fighting poverty and protecting vulnerable groups in society.

External factors that hamper service delivery •

Lack of cooperation and support from Municipalities in attending to service delivery concerns raised by communities sometimes negatively affects the effectiveness of volunteers and results in low morale.

Provincial Audit & Risk Committee Responsibility The Provincial Audit and Risk Committee reports that it complied with its responsibilities arising from the Public Finance Management Act, No.1 of 1999 (PFMA), Treasury Regulations, including any other statutory and other regulations. Subsequent to the dissolution of the previous Committee, the new Provincial Audit & Risk Committee resolved all outstanding responsibilities for the financial year.

The Effectiveness of Internal Control The systems of internal control are the responsibility of the department’s management and are designed to provide effective assurance that assets are safeguarded and that liabilities and working capital are efficiently managed. In line with the requirements of the PFMA and the principles of the King Reports (II and III) on Corporate Governance, the Internal Audit Function provides the Provincial Audit and Risk Committee and the departmental management with assurance that the systems of internal controls are appropriate and effective. This is achieved by means of the risk management process, as well as the identification of corrective actions and suggested enhancements to the controls and processes. From the various reports of the Internal Auditors, the Report and Management Letter of the Auditor-General on the Annual Financial Statements, it was noted that the systems of internal control were not effective for the year under review as control deficiencies were detected in the following significant control areas: • • • • •

Asset Management Fleet Management Service Delivery Evaluation Supply Chain Management Complaints Management

The quality of “In Year Monitoring” and monthly / quarterly reports submitted in terms of the Treasury Regulations and the Division of Revenue Act The Provincial Audit and Risk Committee through the Internal Audit Function was satisfied with the content and quality of monthly and quarterly reports prepared and issued by the Accounting Officer and the department during the year under review.

Audit of Performance Information The monitoring of the department’s performance is a key function of the executive management of the department. The Provincial Audit & Risk Committee has no direct line of responsibility over the department’s performance. However, the Provincial Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for ensuring, principally through the Internal Audit Function that the systems of performance management, measurement and reporting; as well as the systems of internal control that underpin the performance management framework of the department, remain robust and are reviewed routinely in the internal audit plans. The Committee has accepted the responsibility of ensuring that adequate reporting on performance information is in line with its mandate and charter. The Committee reviewed the Internal Audit and Auditor-General reports relating to Performance Information and noted that there were no material deficiencies identified during the reviews.

Internal Audit Function The Provincial Audit & Risk Committee provides oversight and monitors the activities of the Internal Audit Function. Consequently, the Committee is able to report on the effectiveness and efficiency of the function. The function was effective during the period under review and there were no unjustified restrictions or limitations. The Committee will in the forthcoming year, monitor progress to ensure that the Internal Audit Function continues to add value to the department and achieves its optimal performance.

“Building a United Front Against Crime” Risk Management Function Risk Management is a proactive discipline that involves scenario planning and that is intended to provide reasonable assurance that the department will achieve its objectives. King III principle 2.2 states that the board, (executive authority in the case of a government department) “should appreciate that strategy, risk, performance and sustainability are inseparable.” Since the approval of the Provincial Risk Management Framework in March 2010, and during the financial year under review, the Committee monitored how the department established the necessary risk management functions, risk policies, and oversight structures. The Committee believes that these interventions will assist the department in complying with the Provincial Risk Management Framework, and the risk management sections of the PFMA. The Committee noted that the department had a dedicated Risk Management Function but did not have a Risk Management Committee, and hence urged the department to establish this during the 2011/12 financial year. Although progress was made in implementing the risk mitigation strategies arising from the risk assessments facilitated by the Provincial Treasury’s Internal Audit Function, the Committee urged the department to fully implement the outstanding risk mitigation strategies as soon as possible.

Other Governance Issues As part of its governance responsibilities, the Committee also monitors the fraud prevention strategies that have been developed and implemented by provincial departments, and these responsibilities include monitoring the implementation of recommendations arising from forensic investigations. During the period under review, the Committee noted that the department had no investigations that were referred to the Provincial Internal Audit Function, and 1 investigation that was conducted by the department, and which the Committee was not aware of. The department was urged to implement recommendations arising from the completed investigation, and to provide the Internal Audit Function with a detailed list of all other investigations being conducted internally or by other relevant authorities.

Evaluation of Financial Statements The Provincial Audit and Risk Committee were provided a report by the Internal Audit Function that reflects the results of the review of the annual financial statements. The Provincial Audit and Risk Committee concurs and accepts the Internal Audit report on the above, as well as the Auditor-General’s conclusions on the annual financial statements, and is of the opinion that the audited annual financial statements be accepted and read together with the report of the Auditor-General.

Reasons for under/over spending The Department realized savings in compensation and goods and services in both programs. The reasons are as follows: • • •

The Department implemented the cost containment strategy for all its procurement Vacant posts were not filled for the entire year The VSCPP program targeted 2100 volunteers and this could not be achieved due to the exits of volunteers

Impact on programmes and service delivery The Department appointed acting personnel to take care of the responsibilities attached to all vacant posts and this meant that the Department was able to achieve all of its main service delivery targets. Actions taken or planned to avoid recurrence The Department will be advertising the filling of all vacant posts in 2011. 1.6. Virements: The Department undertook minimal virements of R6 571.27 due to unforeseen payments for injury on duty. The virements was undertaken within Program 1: Goods and Services.

REPORT OF THE AUDITOR-GENERAL TO THE KWAZULU-NATAL PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF VOTE NO. 9: DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY SAFETY AND LIAISON FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2011 REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Introduction 1.

I have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Department of Community Safety and Liaison, which comprise the appropriation statement, the statement of financial position as at 31 March 2011, and the statement of financial performance, statement of changes in net assets and cash flow statement for the year then ended, a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, as set out on pages 70 to 101.

Accounting officer’s responsibility for the financial statements 2.

The accounting officer is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the Departmental Financial Reporting Framework prescribed by the National Treasury and the requirements of the Public Finance Management Act of South Africa, 1999 (Act No. 1 of 1999) (PFMA) and the Division of Revenue Act of South Africa, 2010 (Act No. 1 of 2010) (DORA), and for such internal control as management determines necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor-General’s responsibility 3.

As required by section 188 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 (Act No. 1 of 1996), section 4 of the Public Audit Act of South Africa, 2004 (Act No. 25 of 2004) (PAA) and the PFMA, my responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.

4.

I conducted my audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and General Notice No. 1111 of 2010 issued in Government Gazette No. 33872 of 15 December 2010. Those standards require that I comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

5.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the department’s preparation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the department’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

6.

I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion.

- 66 -


“Building a United Front Against Crime” Opinion 7.

In my opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Department of Community Safety and Liaison as at 31 March 2011, and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with the Departmental Financial Reporting Framework prescribed by the National Treasury and the requirements of the PFMA and DORA.

Emphasis of matter 8.

I draw attention to the matters below. My opinion is not modified in respect of these matters:

Irregular expenditure 9.

As disclosed in note 23 to the financial statements the department incurred irregular expenditure of R6,354 million as the expenditure incurred was in contravention of Treasury Regulations 16A6 and 16A9, relating to supply chain management.

Material underspending of the budget 10. As disclosed in the appropriation statement to the financial statements the department has materially underspent its budget. At the date of this report, underspending amounted to 8,23% or R11,558 million. This is mainly attributed to cost containment strategy for all procurement, vacant posts that were not filled for the year and the Volunteer Social Crime Prevention Programme (VSCPP) that could not achieve its target of 2 100 volunteers.

Additional matters 11. I draw attention to the matters below. My opinion is not modified in respect of these matters:

Unaudited supplementary schedules 12. The supplementary schedules set out on pages 102 to 104 do not form part of the financial statements and are presented as additional information. I have not audited these schedules and accordingly I do not express an opinion thereon.

Financial reporting framework 13. The financial reporting framework prescribed by the National Treasury and applied by the department is a compliance framework. Thus my opinion would have reflected that the financial statements had been properly prepared instead of fairly presented as required by section 20(2)(a) of the PAA, which requires me to express an opinion on the fair presentation of the financial statements of the department.

REPORT ON OTHER LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS 14. In accordance with the PAA and in terms of General Notice No. 1111 of 2010, issued in Government Gazette No. 33872 of 15 December 2010, I include below my findings on the annual performance report as set out on pages 13 to 54 and material non-compliance with laws and regulations applicable to the department.

- 67 -


community safety & liaison Department: Community Safety and Liaison PROVINCE OF KWAZULU-NATAL

Compliance with laws and regulations Annual financial statements 16.

The accounting officer submitted financial statements for auditing that were not prepared in all material respects in accordance with the Departmental Financial Reporting Framework issued by the National Treasury, as required by section 40(1)(b) of the PFMA. The material misstatements with regard to irregular expenditure were subsequently corrected.

Procurement and contract management 17.

Goods and services with a transaction value of over R500 000 were not procured by means of competitive process and the deviation was not approved by the accounting officer, as per the requirement of Treasury Regulation 16A6.4.

18.

Goods and services with a transaction value of between R10 000 and R500 000 were procured without suppliers declaring their conflicts of interests as per the requirement of Practice Note 7 of 2009-10 issued in terms of section 76(4)(c) of the PFMA.

19.
