The South African Police Service believes the decision by the Department of Planning Monitoring and Evaluation to nominate SAPS as a good practice case study is an indication that SAPS is headed in a positive direction.

MPAT nominated SAPS to be a good practice case study based on its performance on the Management Performance Assessment Tool. The study is done by Wits University.

Brigadier Vishnu Naidoo said they decided to use SAPS because of its management performances where they have made great stride.

Naidoo added that they have moved from position 27 to 12 in the previous financial year and they have just leant now that they have gone even further up the ladder but it has not been announced yet exactly what the position is.

“We are very ecstatic about this, we started a long and very difficult journey in turning the SAPS around, in terms of governance, management and administrative perspective. This is because of the seven belief that a well-managed organization is bound to do better in achieving its goal” Naidoo said.
