At a recent Police committee meeting of Parliament, Cele told MPs that he signs off nearly 300 retirements every month, leaving him concerned over the experience that is leaving SAPS in short succession.
Cele says in one month he signs off just more than 300 retirement letters. He says he is worried that SAPS is left with an ever-growing gap when it comes to experience. The other side of this dilemma is the shortage of boots on the ground. Cele says in 2010 the police-to-population ratio was one to 220. The demand on police has since doubled, with no increase in police resources.
The EFF’s Andries Shembeni says some officers retire early because they are underpaid and undervalued.“If this is the crime levels, what will it look like with so many seniors going into retirement? It is a great concern, I believe if we are serious about fighting crime, we can negotiate with seniors who can to work longer, because we need more boots on the ground and not less. The Minister must ensure training of such nature that people can learn from experienced members.

You will find that mostly are foreigners running away

Mxm😒the concern is that there would be no more puppets that can be manipulated in the SAPS. In the SAPS, your qualifications can possibly get you to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel... anything above is politically motivated and most likely corrupt 🤞🏼
All the fatties to the front...
