The Democratic Alliance said it will be writing to the Minister of Police Nathi Mthethwa requesting that the review into the National Key Points provides a full list of the Key Points as well as the criteria used to classify them as such. 

DA MP of Police Dianne Kohler Barnard said they will also be writing to each department to determine other National Key Points. 

Barnard said each time they have asked for the list of NKPs to be tabled, both cabinet ministers and the chairperson of the police portfolio committee have cited security concerns for not providing the list.

Barnard added that Government should not be allowed to determine willy-nilly what a National Key Point is and what is not. This should be determined by Parliament, and subject to effective oversight.
