KwaZulu-Natal DA Leader, Francois Rodgers, has declared that the Democratic Alliance (DA) has no confidence in the police in the province.
Rodgers said that the DA is “sad and disappointed” in the current state of policing in KwaZulu-Natal. He went on to say that the police are failing to deliver adequate service to the people of the province, resulting in crime and instability.
The KwaZulu-Natal DA leader said that this lack of confidence in the police is due to the “persistent failure” of the police force to provide adequate service. He added that the DA will continue to fight for the people of the province to ensure that they have the protection and safety they deserve.
Rodgers noted that the police force should be focused on tackling crime and ensuring the safety of the people, but instead, they are stretched too thin and facing budget cuts. He added that the consequence of this is that crime rates are increasing and the people of KwaZulu-Natal are feeling unsafe.
The DA leader said that the party will continue to call on the national government to provide adequate funding and resources to the South African Police Service. He said that this is necessary to ensure that the police force is able to effectively carry out its duties and protect the citizens of KwaZulu-Natal.
Rodgers concluded his statement by saying that the DA will continue to fight for the people of KwaZulu-Natal to ensure that they have the safety and security they deserve. He said that the party is committed to working with the police force to make sure that the people of KwaZulu-Natal have the protection that they need.
The DA leader’s statement highlights the need for more resources for the police force in KwaZulu-Natal. Without these resources, the police will be unable to effectively protect the citizens of the province. It is essential that the national government and the people of KwaZulu-Natal work together to ensure that the police in the province have the resources that they need to keep the people safe.
