Media reports on
Tuesday revealed that nearly 40% of police officers in Gauteng
Provincial Community
Safety MEC Faith Mazibuko said members who don’t have drivers licenses are used
as crew members on response vehicles and are posted to do client server centre
duties as cell guards, hospital guards, court orderlies and at victim
empowerment centres.
It said the
perception that they only carry out administrative duties or have desk jobs is
incorrect.
MEC`s Spokesperson Thapelo Moiloa said there are no reports that the officials have been driving around in police vehicles.
“it is not a
requirement of the Police Services that upon recruitment, that a valid drivers
licence anymore; that used to be the case before but it has been done away”
Moiloa added.
