Western Cape MEC of Community
Safety Dan Plato has called for a full briefing by the South African Police
Service Provincial Management on the functionality of police stations during
load shedding.
MEC Plato in a statement said
he is concerned by recent media reports that only 30% of SAPS stations
countrywide have electricity generators, and that radio communications can be
interrupted by prolong power outages.
Ministerial Spokesperson Ewald
Botha says earlier this year a number of police stations reported that during
load shedding at times some of their radios do not work and other stations
reporting that they do not have power diesel when its load shedding.
Both added that MEC Plato
appreciates that according to the strategic plan 22 out of 48 generators to be
supplied by SAPS are earmarked for the Western Cape.
