SAPS TO HAND OVER 1,087 NEW POLICE VEHICLES National Police Commissioner General Fannie Masemola is handing over 1,087 vehicles to strengthen frontline policing and boost the SAPS’s crime-fighting capacity.

I remember one year, powerful VW Golf were handed out by the M1 freeway. A constable rolled it before it even reached the police station it was going to serve.

When you get to the police station, they will still tell you that there are no police vehicles available. They will be parked in malls and mistresses houses 😫

SAPS receives a huge budget of R130 billion but reports worsening crime statistics every year The fundamental problem is not resources but the laws of the country. SAPS is a well-equipped Police force in Africa but is still outperformed by poorest countries police

They will only be used for extortion of Spaza shops of foreigners,when you call for assistance they will tell you there’s no cars

This issue of much needed vehicles is appreciated, however it will scarcely make a dent in addressing the dire need for vehicles and other equipment need by SAPS, to operate optimally. Old and outdated computers, scanners etc, is a problem. So too is the shortage of ammunition.

The “blue” lights are going to go very quickly. Stolen for scrap parts.

Buying police cars is not an achievement — procurement is a basic operational requirement. Police need vehicles to do their job, so celebrating delivery is like celebrating that a hospital bought bandages — it should be routine, not an achievement

Where are the vans? Police always complain that there is not enough vans.

Hyundai i10s, red Toyota starlets and base polos. I think we’ll see a resurgence of the blue light gangs now especially if you’re adding these small affordable cars.

It's funny how Visible policing gets allocated 1 or 2 cars and they need to share, while detectives are getting a bakkie and he/she uses it alone....so pathetic. Visible Policing should be the ones getting more cars so that they can patrol more...but keh yall are incompetent

Please tell us if this vehicle purchase was direct from manufacturers with no tenders or middleman or woman creaming off a huge commission. With all the SAPS corruption the SA public are sceptical. Please find out yusuf?

What a useless buy again , the same police stations will still say "theres no vehicles " when you have an emergency.

Those vehicles they will be driven by management in the offices 😂😂😂😂😂 they don’t help the community with visibility

Why are they unmarked? @SAPoliceService

They come to the mall and shop with us, but cars are always unavailable when there’s a crime 🤷🏽‍♀️

I don’t like the idea of unmarked cars. U A huge risk in our society. No one would be harmed if they would mark them

We need to bring back foot patrols.

& the need to park them all together was for election campaign. Why not send them from factory to where they are needed just through the necessary registrations. This’s not necessary.

Now you’re about to confuse those police cars with uber/bolt cars

Who is the General who got the top of the range VW Golf, probably a VW Golf 8 from the supplier?. General Mkhwanazi said that the person in Procurement gets a free car. @SAPoliceService who got the car? I ask....

Did the NatComm and Police Minister swap roles. Why is the NatComm doing things that are political in nature while the Minister of Police is busy irregularly performing the duties of NatComm there in that court case against @JacintaNgobese?
