- with reference to his reply to question 23 of 8 July 2022, (a) what was the Vispol budget for each police station in the Western Cape in (i) 2018/19, (ii) 2019/20, (iii) 2020/21, (iv) 2021/22 and (v) 2022/23 and (b) what portion of the Vispol component was spent on the FLASH offices at each station in the same period?
The reply of the South African Police Service (SAPS):
4. (1) (a) The community is reluctant to provide information as they fear victimization by gang members and the rest of the community.
The amnesty periods between 2019 and January 2021 also resulted in a significant amount of firearms being surrendered voluntarily.
(b) According to the SAPS Annual Performance Plan 5% more firearms must be confiscated.
