SA: Disastrous Mass Exodus of Senior White & Coloured Police

Date Posted: Monday 18-Jun-2007

[So white and coloured Senior Police officers are leaving in droves and being replaced with unskilled blacks. This is dreadful. It is also interesting once more to see how the Coloureds are unhappy too. We whites must keep watching the Coloureds - of all the non-whites they were our most loyal friends - EVEN AFTER APARTHEID! Jan]

Experienced Western Cape police officers are leaving the South African Police Service in droves, with six from Strand police station leaving in the last three months alone.

Three were inspectors with more than 15 years' service each.

This comes amid a growing trend of mostly white and coloured senior police officers leaving, either by resigning or taking early retirement.

Former Western Cape police commissioner and Democratic Alliance community safety spokesperson Lennit Max, said 277 police officers in the province left in the 2005/06 financial year while a further 41 were dismissed and 53 died.

'If you can't protect your workforce, how can you protect others?'
He said many were senior superintendents with 20 years' experience but the bulk were inspectors with about 10 years'service.

"Salary increases depend on promotion and whites and coloureds are not getting the same opportunities as black officers."

Max described the exodus of skilled people a "disaster".

He said it was becoming commonplace for senior managers to create an unpleasant environment to prompt others to leave.

"I've had a number of reports of senior staff being humiliated in front of junior officers. Some are labelled racists if they speak out."

Max said he was investigating a number of complaints from disgruntled members, including those from a number of women officers claiming to have been victims of sexual harassment.

"From what I have heard, there is an element of racism involved. But if you can't protect your workforce, how can you protect others?"

Western Cape police spokesperson Director Novela Potelwa said there had been 579 service terminations from April 1, 2005 to March 31, 2006.

This amounted to nearly 3 percent of their staff complement of 19 000, and included dismissals, early retirement and retirement due to ill-health.

But Potelwa said 60 percent of those who had left were members resigning because they were about to be charged departmentally.

She added that it was untrue that white and coloured officers were being discriminated against when it came to promotions.

According to her figures, a total of 630 promotional posts were filled in the 2006/2007 financial year with whites accounting for 32.5 percent; coloured members 29 percent; African members 37.6 percent; and Indians 0.79 percent.

A senior police officer, who asked not to be named, told Weekend Argus that during a shift at one police station, only four out of 12 staff regularly reported for duty.

"The others are off on stress leave. And often there are not enough vehicles."

He added that some officers who were legitimately booked off for stress or sick leave had had it changed into unpaid leave.

A recent report in Rapport newspaper said that a number of white and coloured police officers were moving abroad following a recruitment drive by the Western Australian police department.

And last month KwaZulu-Natal MEC for transport, community safety and liaison Bheki Cele said that almost 6 000 police officers from South Africa had been recruited by other countries, with the biggest number going to Australia.

      "Beware the bearers of false gifts and broken promises."

      What better proof could there be, than the fact that Christian belief is the ideology which makes white South Africans forgive and tolerate everything that happens to them?

      Even being stripped of everything that belongs to them, and death, seems to be alright with them.

      They take no action to prevent it.

      South Africa concerning a very prominent prophet we have in our history. The bible says fear the man who prophecies and it comes to pass and fear not the man who prophecies and it doesn’t come to pass.
      Prophet Van Rensburg was born in 1864 and foretold 700 prophecies concerning our country and abroad. They all to date have come to pass.
      Amongst his last prophecies he said that when it becomes cold in South Africa like it hasn’t been for years, a national strike will take place which will cripple the country. At this time a prominent political figure in our country will die and he will be placed in a glass coffin so people will mourn for him 7 days. He says the strike will not cease and lead to civil war and when this politician dies the black people in our country will within an hour of his death barricade the main cities and slaughter all the white people. He says at this time Europe will start to boil and ww3 will come on the heels of these events. He says only the true Afrikaner will survive as moments before they will be supernaturally taken to a place of safety. He believed the Afrikaner were Gods chosen people of South Africa. After this destruction and death like the world has never seen will follow,
      I enclose Adriaan Snymans book on his prophecies and a news clip that states when Nelson Mandela dies they will put him in a glass coffin at the Union Buildings Pretoria as befitting a world known statesman.
      We are currently in the midst of the coldest winter in many years with 56 all time new weather records for our country. On Monday 2nd June the entire public sector goes on strike.This will cripple our country. We are talking about 4 million + not working.
      It seems that the prophet’s words are coming true and that God appointed someone in our country to give us a warning. A friend of mine got an email last week saying that people must fast and pray because in the next 5 days as angles are going to appear to people everywhere.
      Are we on the brink of the great tribulation/rapture? Everyone has been saying this is the year of the rapture, perhaps that time is now.
      All I know is this week coming seems to be one that will bring a lot of change, if we are to believe a man of God who could only read the bible who predicted 700 prophecies and they all came to pass.
      I’m not a Jew so I cant look for a Jewish sign ( The borders of Israel being surrounded), I am South African and I can only look to the signs given us by a God fearing man, as to the times and seasons we are living in.
      May our redemption be drawing very nigh!! Haleluljah!
      Shalom

      The report said that 53 died. What part was "in the line of duty"?

      What the hell are our bunch of corrupt thugs seeking new police from SA for? Westerne Australian police are as bad as any force in Oz, I find it very worrying they are seeking recuitment overseas. There is a reason they cannot fill their ranks here. The good ones don't last long as the thuggery and corruption soon gets them down. Speaking from personal experience by the way.

      You know there are reasons much more complex why black Africans cannot just take the reigns of a white built and created society and infrastructure. I read what are nothing short of shockingly bigotted remarks on this site, though I do read it regularly as a Rense reader. I am astounded that supposedly sophisticated people would not be able to see past ingrained bigotry to examine the situatioon with more nuance. I would not deny that where blacks have obtained the upper hand things appear to be going to hell in a handbasket, but having been repressed for so long, how do you expect the prison inmates to act if suddenly they are all released and you say here you go, it is all yours now?

      Not blaming the whites here either, but a transition period with full all round co-operation would have been a better way to see balance and maintain the past standards. I am aware that those in power wanted it all, now and they are easy to blame for that. Still I saw what an exodus of wealthy and skilled whites started pouring into just this state the instant Apartheid was turned. Draining the country right at the start of the change.

      It is a mess and obviously it is going to hell fast. Getting caught up in phoney bigotted paradigms which try to separate one human being as being physiologially different or biologically more or less human than another is about as primitive as the fools who are making a mess of things due to cultural unpreparedness. You are not superior to another human just because you say you are. But you reduce your own humanity by saying it.

      By the way, IF the figures the spokeswoman gave are accurate, then they indicate a bias FOR whites and coloureds according to your population breakup.

      It's going to take more than words to fix this problem.

      A black police force? Sounds great. How about an a aquarium of Chickens, a tree full of dogs and a daisy field full of octopuses to go along with it? Wake up people some things are just not meant to be as nature has not meant for it. Imagine if dogs were as fussy as humans. Poodles and wolves would be protesting that they want to see 'equal numbers' of their own kinds in the police force in relation to german shepherds.

      Wolves in the police force? Hello?

      If their is life on other planets then its no wonder that they have not made contact. People, we are not on Et's national geographic channel, we are on Et's Comedy 24/7 channel. The situation in zimbabwe and south africa would be a big joke to an extraterrestrial.
