Slow police promotions raise welfare concerns

Even the Minister for State President, Defence and Security, Moeti Mohwasa has acknowledged this. Speaking before Parliament, he said career advancement within the police service has been significantly sluggish over the past five years, largely due to economic constraints.

Mohwasa explained that prevailing fiscal challenges have limited the government’s ability to create new supervisory positions within the police service, a situation that has directly impacted promotion opportunities.
