Defence Ministry relieves police of prosecuting duties

Back in 2017, the Police commissioner, Keabetswe Makgophe expressed the concern that their human resource was affected by the having to carry out some non-core duties giving an example of prosecution of cases and facilitation of traffic flow at traffic lights. 

Then, Makgophe said the BPS spent most of the time using its own resources in some duties not within their core mandate something that impacted  negatively on their human resources. “Such duties are not budgeted for when funds are allocated,” said Makgophe then.
