On Thursday we recieved media reports stating that dangerous criminals escaped while under police gaurd en route to court. This event has certainly opened up a can of worms and indicates that there are big problems in the SAPS. Worms are normally a good indicator of rot and the consequence of poor care. What's rotting?? Well the incident has raised more than a concern over the security at courts and prisons, in fact the Police Force management of the matter came under fire when they decided to arrest the gaurds for neglect and corruption. The orderlies were here over the long weekend without legal representation or councelling for the horrific escape. Now please understand that I am not suggesting for one moment that they are innocent of negligence or misconduct. I am merely using this situation to highlight the following problems in our Justice system. I'm am concerned about :
* the casual manner in which potentially dangerous criminals are dealt with , especially in our current environment where crime is out of control, they were not in shackles.
* Poor management in the SAPS, Workers are imprisoned without any evidence or investigation. What about constitutional rights?? Can I take it that the Directors have no idea on what policing entails.
Please read up the story on www.news24.co.za and let me know what concerns You.....
