Police body cameras face indefinite delay as acting Police minister cannot commit to rollout date

# The DA says the national rollout of police body-worn cameras has stalled after acting Police minister Firoz Cachalia confirmed there is no timeline for their introduction. In a written parliamentary reply, Cachalia said the project is still in the procurement phase, and a rollout plan will only be finalised once a service provider is appointed. The DA’s Mzamo Billy says the delay is hampering police accountability and transparency amid growing concerns over corruption and abuse of power.
