Police reform will take years, warns Acting Minister Firoz Cachalia - EWN

Acting Police Minister Firoz Cachalia said it would take years to reform the police service, as Parliament looked to him to withdraw a bill that sought to overhaul the way in which it functions.

Parliament’s police portfolio committee said it would be more prudent to wait for the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry and Parliament’s ad hoc committee, which had both been probing police corruption, to deliver their recommendations first.
