Protection Services has provided protection to 180 local dignitaries, 93 foreign dignitaries and 98 heads of state and
heads of government. Protection was provided for numerous VIPs at 99 special and major events.
Five incidences of security breaches occurred (housebreaking related) and are being investigated by the SAPS.
Six complaints were lodged against members of Protection Services. Investigations into the complaints revealed that
it was not necessary to take departmental steps against the members involved. In each instance, the situation was
rectified by means of in-service training and the redeployment of members.
In the course of the 2003/2004 financial year, Cabinet approved the mandate, functions and responsibilities of the
Division: Protection and Security Services. In this regard, monetary provision was made for projects relating to
security at key government installations that are to be rolled out during the 2004/2005 financial year. Functions
relating to ports of entry, security and railway police, as well as the transfer of the functions of the government
security regulator from the SANDF, will form part of the pilot projects.
Output measures and indicators for the existing functions of the programme were developed for the 2004/2005
financial year. The outcome of the pilot projects will set the baseline for performance measurement in the future.
Control will be exercised at ports of entry and borders in terms of policies, procedures, operational standards and
standing operational procedures presented by a forum comprising Protection and Security Services, Operational
Response Services, Crime Prevention, Crime Intelligence and the Detective Services. The forum will ensure that the
rendering of security services at these key points takes place in an integrated manner.
