  • Department of Community Safety: Annual Performance Plan 2021/22
    Annual Performance Plan 2021/22 Department of Community Safety EXECUTIVE AUTHORITY STATEMENT In the short time, since June 2019, that I have been the Executive Authority of the Department of Community Safety, I have aimed to provide strategic leadership for it to become an increasingly service delivery-oriented department. As a department, we have had to adapt our strategies considering the socio-economic challenges presented by the COVID-19 epidemic. I am proud of the role played by my department in responding to the pandemic. Our responses to the governance and delivery challenges posed by the epidemic have been marked by innovation that, in many cases, surpassed even our own expectations. Under my guidance, the Department has embarked upon an exciting repurposing process. This process will ensure that the Department adapts its oversight functions to enhance service delivery, particularly to those communities ravaged by high rates of crime, gangsterism and other challenges. This is in line with our role as one of the lead departments in implementing the Western Cape Safety Plan (Safety Plan) and the safety component of the Western Cape Government’s COVID-19 Recovery Plan (Recovery Plan). This collaborative repurposing process has been ably facilitated by the senior departmental officials under the leadership of the Head of Department (HoD), Adv. Yashina Pillay, and is a first in that it explicitly encourages dynamic and open reflection of the Department’s mandate and involves participation from all levels of the Department. The Recovery Plan requires that all departments ensure that their programmes, strategies and deliverables are aligned to the interrelated objectives of jobs, safety and wellbeing.

    Looking back Insider views on the Judicial Inspectorate for Correctional Services Chloë McGrath and Elrena van der Spuy* [email protected] [email protected] http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/sacq.v48i1.4 The establishment of a constitutional democracy in South Africa necessitated widespread institutional reforms across state sectors. A key feature of such reforms was the emphasis on oversight and accountability as illustrated in reform endeavours pursued in the South African Police Service, courts and prisons. One such oversight mechanism – the Judicial Inspectorate for Correctional Services (JICS) – is the subject of this article. Drawing on qualitative interviews with people closely involved with the JICS since 1998, this article presents ‘insider views’ regarding the JICS. We conclude with incumbents’ views on the effectiveness of the JICS.1 In brief: South African prisons years of collecting evidence, the Commission of Inquiry into Alleged Incidents of Violence or Under apartheid, South African prisons bore Intimidation in the Department of Correctional the imprint of racialised and repressive rule.
