Budget 2023 | Police, security agencies get billions as SA steps up war on crime | Business

The National Prosecuting Authority will receive an extra R1.3 billion to appoint 120 more employees and hire outside experts for complex cases, especially financial crimes.

More funds will also be made available to the Financial Intelligence Centre, the Special Investigating Unit and tax collection agency. South Africa is one of the world’s crime capitals, with an average of more than 80 murders committed each day, and has long been dogged by the theft of taxpayer funds. A judicial commission of inquiry set up to probe graft during former President Jacob Zuma’s nine-year rule found that government departments and state companies were systematically looted with his tacit consent.

While President Cyril Ramaphosa, who succeeded Zuma in early 2018, has identified the war on crime as a top priority, progress in addressing the scourge has been stunted by a lack of investigating and prosecuting capacity.

Considerable progress has been made in addressing the weaknesses identified by the FATF in its 2021 evaluation, including passing two key pieces of legislation, and the watchdog has been formally requested to reassess South Africa’s compliance in June, the National Treasury said.
