Counter-intelligence and Degree of improvement in
5% 370% increase in reported
safeguarding capability SAAF personnel’s military
incidents, compared to
security awareness, compared
FY 2006/07 statistics. The
to 2006/07 statistics
apparent negative trend may
indicate that the more efficient
reporting of incidents actually
led to an improvement in
military security awareness.
The measuring criteria selected
were not appropriate and will
be improved in future years.
Degree of reduction
15% 6% reduction in transgressions
of military and criminal
achieved. The improvement
transgressions, based on
of only 6% could also
2006/07 statistics
be attributed to irregular
reporting of statistics, which
could indicate a reduced
performance.
