Police Minister defends SAPS VIP protection
Cape Times
|May 14, 2025
POLICE Minister Senzo Mchunu has expressed confidence in the police’s VIP protection services unit's performance, saying it was doing its job very well.
Responding to a question in the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) yesterday, Mchunu said SAPS has not received any complaints from the high-profile political figures who are protected by the VIP protection services unit.
“If you take any threat or any incident targeting VIPs or anyone provided with security, we have not received any complaint that the services rendered to them were inadequate. We are satisfied that SAPS are doing their job.
“They are doing well in that aspect of providing VIP services to designated VIPs. I am satisfied, but indicate it is trickling to us that the demand that is being made on SAPS on this matter needs to always be under control by the national commissioner and all of us so that we don’t find ourselves in a problem in this regard,” said Mchunu.
