SAPS confirms they are incapable of resolving criminality on tourism buses
20 September 2022
Please find attached a soundbite by Manny de Freitas MP.
Today the South African Police Service (SAPS) presented to the Tourism Portfolio Committee on what the SAPS has been doing to combat the violence, intimidation, attacks, shootings, stonings and extortion on long distance tour bus operators by taxi operators.
Today’s meeting follows on from another Portfolio Committee held on 23 August 2022 with the Intercape bus company on the same matter.
The presentation from high-ranking SAPS members was not only jaw-droppingly embarrassing, demonstrating just how clueless and incapable the police are in dealing with this matter, but also the presentation was a prime example of “smoke and mirrors”.
