Parliament committee calling for better working conditions at police stations

# Parliament’s portfolio committee on Police has expressed serious concerns about the state of many police stations in the country. The committee conducted oversight visits to the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal last week. Some of the issues committee members encountered include officials being exposed to contemptible working conditions, cells not being operational, shortage of staff. The committee is calling for SAPS management and the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure to do more to create conducive working conditions, that will improve the morale of officers.
