Seeing whose in charge explains everything
Oh so its their fault your government is not worth working for? RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT. ANC strikes again! Stealing money instead of paying people. Yeah, oh and its the previous government, that hasn't been in power for 30 years fault right?
First off, that 1.1 mil is to train a battalion of 30 personnel for 6months + in order to cover food, lodging(which the members themselves maintain and theyre pay. (don't be fooled) secondly the average salary for a member is between 15-25k before deductions which leaves you under the breadline and your stuck living day by day, taking out loans etc. Next up is that the private sector pays members that are qualified according to they're qualifications and year of mil-prac which is equal to B-AAA grade security. (which means they are still under paid but earn far more than what government is willing to pay due to politicians pocketing the necessary funds to run the country better. Dont need to delve in deep to know that any human being worth his salt wants to be paid accordingly and government simply isn't doing it. Why im leaving after my contract end for a better pay because living under the breadline with 16 years service(contract ending at 20 years service and earning less than 13k after tax)is not worth it. There are better paying jobs out there
SAPS is also not promoting them to higher ranks
The reason for this is simple the saps do not do their jobs adequately it comes down to discipline those in charge do not do their job therefore the rest of the officers follow and thats why the saps are not capable which is why the demand for private security is so high the saps due to their own incompetence and negligence have created the demand for private security because nobody can rely on them they rather invest in private companies and actually get what they pay for
It doesn't boil down to money, it boils to the kind of leadership we have in government, we have an ANC run country, a very evil and highly corrupt party. Vote Mogoeng Mogoeng if he's his name is there on the ballot pape please, its time to shake things up in this country.
Full of corruption…every kid around rural limpopo would be willing to be employed
What the hell are high caliber weapons?
Bruh imagine risking your like each and everyday, for only 20k a month. I understand why the Special Forces gents are leaving.
I worked for the state for a long time as a doctor. I assure you it's not about money it's about working conditi9ns, useless lazy co workers, political involvement in management, theft, and more. Money is the smallest factor.
It is a shameful thing that the SAPS leadership do not see the need to introduce special remuneration packages for highly trained and skilled members in the STF & NIU and other specialist units requiring high levels of fitness skill & judgment in dangerous situations.
How can such policemen be paid on similar scale to some of the lackadaisical members we envounter daily, not to mention dubiously selected & promoted officers appointed to high ranks with high salaries.
How can these members justify staying with SAPS salaries to their families in the midst of battling to pay for their families household requirements?
Pls show some intelligence and wisdom @General Mkhwanazi.
That is good because people says government doesn't crate jobs let them go and hire others
Gangsters like lifman donkey and a bunch of jews linked to a brothel in Rivonia and businessmen linked to blue label something like a cellphone service provider they all meet at the brothel with lawyers judges etc some of these filthy lawyers are known to throw clients under the bus to protect his own connections involved in organized crime.
Too many useless paper pushers and rule makers in this country. They take all the cream but still expect the hard working, risk takers to be loyal. This is what a criminal, socialist mindset creates.
You pay your bills with money not with kindness
Then they will quickly recruit mamparas
I want everyone to leave this shitty government
banana republic
Bra what is a “high caliber weapon” ? Are you referring to the 556/223 round they are using? Or the 9mm pistol round?
Leaving one gang for another gang. Their prey still remains the lawless elements in our society…… Yeah sure if you believe if Ramapuppet is an ethical man then you can believe anything. The government has failed and they are forward planning for the day when it all collapses. SA is actually controlled by organized gangs masquerading as businesses with their sights focused on the unarmed public. Only crime, these gangs and all politicians benefit from the system they created! Wake up serfs.
“High caliber weapons” isn’t a thing btw dude.
Don’t get the point, if you pay more than a pmc they properly won’t leave.
Ah yes, when patriotism is just a choice😂
I won't be surprised if they are part of CIT heist
It is simple to keep them. In-service for 10 years under government then they are free to resign
You should the training some private security companies have to offer, also the money is just better I would say. You can work about 10 days if you working a proper job and be sorted financially for the next month
You pay peanut's you get……..
What's not to get? Private companies pay high amounts. It's real simple.
Well, at least no yt man in the guv, rrrright?
“We’re talking about high calibre weapons”😂😂 …lost me right there. This skinny jeans chap doesn’t have the slightest clue on what he’s on about. P.S. just because you’re a higher calibre of training doesn’t that you get (or want) higher calibre tools😂 you’ll get (and want) the same calibre options as everyone else on your force. Let’s get knowledgeable, insightful reporting back. Please.
Private security is better even myself i trained under SANDF but R12k a month is nothing compared to R30k of VIP protection
they have no honor
ANC led government is a flop, Law enforcement officers must be paid fairly, especially those in the elite units.
Apparently soldiers from other countries who served in Mozambique got paid $50 000 but SA soldiers got nothing because government took the money. Now why would they serve a government that is stealing from them?
IMPLOSION… (pray with me – one accord)
Without elaborating, we know that since the ANC came into power in 1994, service of the nation was not their priority. The ANC has progressively over the years, with impetus and impunity spiraled down into a lawless and looting cesspool of decadent, self-indulging men and women.
South Africa needs divine intervention through prayer. Thank God, He is still the Lord who moves mountains.
My prayer is that the ANC monstrosity of lawlessness, greed and glut, those men and women responsible for and in it, will be exposed and blow the whistle on one another resulting in the implosion of the organisation and a new blessed and prosperous South Africa with vision and a moral compass birthed. This I pray for, in the name of Jesus – the mountain mover.
What clowns they are
The government needs to start paying competitive salaries if it wants to attract and retain talent
Why is he not speaking english? South africans collapsed their economy when they started electing african leaders, please dont get me wrong im very far from a racist, but its true all african countries are most corrupted in the whole world, nelson mandela wasnt that corrupt but there is 1 out of a 1000000 compared to him
Government employees need to be payed more. Politics has really destroyed the working environment.
Highly skilled to be corrupt!South african police officers are crooks.Good for nothing!No integrity and loyalty
Pay the government workers 😢😢😢😢
Stop saying "tax payer" as if paying taxes was a little personal investment. Taxes belong to the government.
But if trained by government there should be minimum years of service
Less corrupt officials on the road …let the security companies have more and more of them in SA they work better than SAPS
These are body guids for ANC thieves that we call ministers . Come to Luthuli house every monday you will c them.
What are they doing in south africa cos we have gangs killing each other everyday
Nothing new
Highly trained police in private hands welele. 🤦♂️
Ndonga ngivumelana nawe lapho ngoba ngempela ikhona into eyenzekayo lento ufuna abantu abanobuchopho ngoba baphatha izibhamu umbutho wama phoyisa Amazon ,babhatalwa imali enhle they even got R200k
Yes Takkies and NIU are running to the private sector but to say they are also recruited by Taxi Bosses and Organized crime is a lie. Most of these guys are working for legitimate security companies and a lot are in the middle east and north Africa doing PSD work for some of the world's biggest security companies. Government has the money so they must pay in order to keep that kind of talent
Rhodesia was better, the government, in it's own way had a respect for the working class…just bring back the Boers to counter this corruption by bl*CK politicians and associated associates
