Ivory Coast's cocoa sector faces relentless struggle with child labour
19 June 2021 | 6:17 am
Ivory Coast, the world's top cocoa producer, is facing mounting demand from Western consumers for ethical chocolate -- a product that is ecologically sound and made without child labour. In a widely publicised operation named Nawa 2, police picked up dozens of children in a crackdown in Soubre, the country's cocoa-producing heartland 400 kilometres (250 miles) west of the economic capital Abidjan.

The return of Laurent Gbagbo: Is Ivory Coast ready for reconciliation?
His supporters had been waiting ten years for this day. Laurent Gbagbo basked in a hero's welcome for his grand return to Abidjan.

Lemm, Eastern win Group 4 sectional final
The Shawnee softball team came roaring back to life in the bottom of the seventh inning of the South Jersey Group 4 championship game Thursday.
by By Bill Iezzi, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Maureen Hepner slugged a two-out, bases-loaded double to left field to score Kelly Dickinson and Annie Johnson, and the Renegades trailed visiting Eastern by a run.
However, Eastern pitcher Sam Lemm shut the door, striking out Lauren Black for the final out, and the Vikings hung on for a 3-2 victory.
Two freshmen played key roles. Meg Parker smashed a sacrifice fly to center to score Madison Tiernan with the third run in the top of the seventh.
Eastern (17-6), the fifth seed, advances to a state semifinal against the Central Jersey Group 4 winner in a game scheduled for Tuesday.
Shawnee, the third seed, finished the season with a 21-6 record.
"I couldn't be more happy," Lemm said of the championship. "This is the second time they [Eastern] have done it in history, and I'm glad that I was part of it."
Lemm, 17, wasn't even born the last time the Vikings won a sectional softball title, in 1986.
Displaying nerves of steel at critical times in the game, Lemm had a 2-0 lead in the fourth inning when Shawnee loaded the bases with two outs. With the count full on Hepner, Lemm struck her out swinging.
"My catcher calls great pitches, and I thought I could battle through it," Lemm said.
Catcher Gen Gaynor, who scored Eastern's first run on a second-inning single by Rachel Bernstein, said Lemm struck out Hepner and Black with curveballs. Bernstein scored from third on a throwing error in the same inning to make it 2-0.
"I called curves, inside fastballs and changeups," said Gaynor, a sophomore, adding that she had great confidence in Lemm, a senior whose record is 18-6.
Lemm gave up five hits, struck out 12, and walked three. She threw 117 pitches.
She has won Eastern's last six games, including an 11-3 victory over Shawnee on May 13 in an Olympic Conference battle.
"I think playing in the Olympic Conference all season gets you ready for this because every game is tough," coach Jamie McGroarty said.
Hepner said she was jammed on an inside pitch that she hit for a double in the seventh. The senior also said that her team didn't get enough hits early in the game and stranded too many runners, seven.
"Turning our season around from 8-11 last year to 21-6 is awesome, and even though it's disappointing, I think it's a huge accomplishment that we made it this far," Hepner said.
Eastern 0200001 - 364
Shawnee 0000002 - 253

About Siemens
Siemens Wind Power
Siemens officially inaugurates new wind turbine blade factory in the British city of Hull
Hamburg, 2016-Dec-01
First 75-meter long blades already completed
Site to employ 1,000 people when fully on stream
Political leaders and company representatives on hand to celebrate
Today, Siemens has officially inaugurated the new rotor blade factory for offshore wind turbines in Hull, UK, in an event attended by the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Greg Clark and representatives of the local community. The site at Alexandra Docks has been transformed in under two years from a derelict industrial wasteland to a busy high-tech manufacturing hub. Now, the state-of-the-art factory has completed the first 75-meter-long blades which are currently stored on racks on site. Shipping to the first offshore wind project Race Bank is expected in early 2017.
"Our new factory in Hull which we are today officially inaugurating is located in one of the most significant markets for offshore wind power and will produce rotor blades for our 7 and 8-megawatt wind turbines," said Michael Hannibal, CEO Offshore of Siemens Wind Power. "The new manufacturing plant is part of our efforts to establish offshore wind power as a key pillar of a sustainable energy mix in Europe. At the same time we are creating 1,000 attractive jobs here and thereby supporting sustainable regeneration in the Humber region."
With its partner Associated British Ports (ABP), Siemens is investing £310 million in Hull to create a world-class center for offshore wind manufacturing, assembly and logistics. The centerpiece of the investment, the wind turbine blade factory, is now fully operational. The full Alexandra Dock site, including a new harbor for pre-assembly and load-out of wind turbine components, will be fully on stream in 2017. Siemens had employed almost 700 people in Hull so far. A further 100 permanent staff are employed at Alexandra Dock working for Siemens' suppliers and additional recruitment up to a total of 1,000 people will continue into 2017 as the site becomes fully operational. Hundreds more jobs have been created during construction and in the supply chain.
The new production site has an area of 540,000 square meters, including an area reclaimed from a wet dock. The new factory itself covers 40,000 square meters and has an optimized material flow based on the Siemens Production System (SPS). Storage, supply chain and assembly work are interconnected with modern database systems to produce 75–meter-long rotor blades for offshore wind turbines of the seven and eight-megawatt class.
Offshore wind manufacturing sites such as Hull in the UK or Cuxhaven in Germany are efficiently linked by new transport vessels and embedded in Siemens' logistics concept with the goal to leverage innovation and industrialization on the way to lowering the costs of offshore wind energy. A key element of the concept is an improved transport solution, utilizing dual-purpose transport vessels to avoid both heavy component lifting through innovative Ro/Ro handling and cost intensive shipping of heavy components.
There is a growing market for wind turbines designed for erection off shore. Offshore wind power plants are currently being built primarily in the North Sea and Baltic Sea off Europe's northern coastline. However, wind power projects are being developed in other regions as well, such as along the East Coast of the United States and in Asia off the coast of China and Taiwan.

National Energy Board Approves Horn River Pipeline Project B.C. Shale Gas Production Projected to Rise Significantly
» National Energy Board Approves Horn River Pipeline Project B.C. Shale Gas Production Projected to Rise Significantly
Tags: gas horn pipeline river shale transcanada
TransCanada Corporation (TSX, NYSE: TRP) (TransCanada) announced that its Horn River Gas Pipeline project has received regulatory approval from the National Energy Board.
TransCanada expects British Columbia (B.C.) shale gas supplies to climb to more than five billion cubic feet per day (bcf/d) by the end of the decade and the Horn River pipeline will be the company's second major pipeline connecting its Alberta System with this prolific supply. The first extension of the Alberta System into B.C. was the Groundbirch pipeline, which came into service in December 2010.
"TransCanada's Horn River pipeline will provide a second direct point of access to the growing shale gas supplies in northeast B.C.," said Russ Girling, TransCanada's president and chief executive officer. "This new pipeline will provide our customers with safe and reliable access to the Alberta System and downstream markets, and we look forward to bringing this project into service by the second quarter of 2012."
TransCanada's approximately $310 million, 155-kilometre Horn River pipeline consists of a new 36-inch pipeline and acquisition of an existing 24-inch pipeline. The project will provide firm service for Alberta System gas transportation contracts that grow to over 630 million cubic feet per day by 2014.
Horn River and Groundbirch shippers have committed to Alberta System transportation contracts that will reach 1.9 bcf/d by 2014. This will help offset the recent decline in conventional Western Canada Sedimentary Basin volumes and contribute to higher throughput and lower tolls on downstream pipelines including the Canadian Mainline.
TransCanada has put into service six major projects in the last 10 months. The Keystone Pipeline System Phase 1 is delivering oil; the North Central Corridor, Groundbirch and Bison natural gas pipelines are all moving gas to market; Maine's largest wind project - Kibby Wind - became fully operational in late October; and the Halton Hills Generating Station in Ontario began producing power in the fall of 2010.
TransCanada will continue bringing large-scale projects into service in the coming months including Keystone Phase 2, the Coolidge Generating Station in Arizona and the Guadalajara natural gas pipeline in Mexico.
With more than 50 years' experience, TransCanada is a leader in the responsible development and reliable operation of North American energy infrastructure including natural gas and oil pipelines, power generation and gas storage facilities. TransCanada's network of wholly owned natural gas pipelines extends more than 60,000 kilometres (37,000 miles), tapping into virtually all major gas supply basins in North America. TransCanada is one of the continent's largest providers of gas storage and related services with approximately 380 billion cubic feet of storage capacity. A growing independent power producer, TransCanada owns, or has interests in, over 10,800 megawatts of power generation in Canada and the United States. TransCanada is developing one of North America's largest oil delivery systems. TransCanada's common shares trade on the Toronto and New York stock exchanges under the symbol TRP.

How Louisiana Became The World's 'Prison Capital' Louisiana imprisons more people per capita than any other state or country in the world. One out of every 86 adults in the state is behind bars. Times-Picayune reporter Cindy Chang says the state's correctional system has created financial incentives for local sheriffs to keep prisons full.

In the past two decades, Louisiana's prison population has doubled.
A new expose by The Times-Picayune of New Orleans calls Louisiana the "world's prison capital."
The state imprisons more people per capita than any other state or country in the world, with one out of every 86 adults behind bars. Its rate of incarceration is three times higher than Iran's and 10 times higher than Germany's.
How did Louisiana double its prison population in the past 20 years? And what differentiates it from other states?
The difference, says Times-Picayune reporter Cindy Chang, is that more than half of the inmates in the state are housed in local prisons run by sheriffs, and the state's correction system has created financial incentives for those sheriffs to keep prisons full.
"In Louisiana, the system has grown so that sheriffs house a lot of inmates who are serving state sentences," Chang tells Fresh Air's Dave Davies. "And the reason the sheriffs are willing to do that is because they get money in return for doing that."

Legal Scholar: Jim Crow Still Exists In America
Doing Time, And Doing Good, In La.'s Angola Prison
A majority of Louisiana's inmates are now housed in for-profit jails, which are run in many instances by parish sheriffs located in rural areas of the state. The sheriffs receive approximately $25 a day per inmate.
In some instances, sheriffs outsource the prisons to for-profit companies who then operate the prisons themselves. In exchange, the sheriffs receive cash for their department, which allows them to hire more employees.
"We went to Jackson Parish ... and what the sheriff there gets is a guaranteed $100,000 a year, whether the prison is making a profit or not," she says. "But what he really gets — and he was not shy about using this word — is the patronage. Because his department, prior to this, had 50 employees, and now it has 150 employees. In a place like that, 100 jobs with benefits is huge. And what he means by patronage, of course, is that he'll get re-elected if he keeps supporting these [prison] jobs."
Conditions at the rural sheriffs' prisons differ remarkably from those in larger state institutions, says Chang.
"They're usually dormitories, and there's typically 80 or 90 women or men sleeping in a large room in bunk beds," she says. "And the difference is that people are just lounging around that dorm. They will literally sit there day after day, year after year, until their sentence is over. Whereas in a state prison, which is where most states house almost all of their inmates, you're busy whether you like it or not — you have a job or you take classes or you're learning a trade that will help you get a job when you get out."
Cindy Chang is a special projects writer for The Times-Picayune. Ellis Lucia/The Times-Picayune hide caption
Ellis Lucia/The Times-Picayune
Each inmate is worth $24.39 a day in state money. Housing the inmates cheaply and providing few services means there's more money left over for the sheriff's department, says Chang.
"It's kind of a vicious cycle," she says. "If you can reduce the prison population, then hopefully you'll have more money to give the ones who are in the system more help. [But] the Sheriff's Association is one of the most powerful lobbies in the state. And they've consistently opposed any change that would reduce the prison population."
Louisiana's prison sentences are among the harshest in the country. The state leads the country in the percentage of inmates who are serving life without parole and exceeds the national average for the number of nonviolent offenders behind bars. Chang writes that a two-time car burglar can receive 24 years without parole. Three drug convictions can send a prisoner away for life.
Though the state's prison budget is $600 million, comparisons with other states are difficult, she says.
"Twenty-five dollars a day is incarceration on the cheap," she says. "In Louisiana state prisons they spend, on average, $55 an inmate, so the average in Louisiana comes out to $38 per day, per inmate, which is the lowest in the country. So if you look at the size of the budget, it's very misleading, because we're incarcerating two people to every one person in another state because we spend so little on them."
On Louisiana's prison budget
"A long-term consequence of our policies is that there has been less money to fund some of the very things that might keep people out of the prison system in the first place — like early childhood programs, schools, after-school programs, recreation programs."
On the profits made by rural prisons and sheriffs
"You're talking about rural parishes that before this were so underfunded that they were buying used patrol cars from Oklahoma, they were driving around in cars with 200,000 miles on them, they were sharing bulletproof vests. So [any profit] is going back into [the sheriff's] department, often to buy basic equipment for his deputies."
On relocating inmates
"I've talked to many inmates who were transferred multiple times and they don't know why. It's not because they were troublemakers or because they didn't get along with people. Sometimes it's just between the rural sheriffs trading [prisoners], and it can be that one sheriff needs a skilled mechanic and the other sheriff ended up with two."

Hunt for South Korea feminist sparks backlash against 'sexist' police
Activists say search for website editor who posted photos of men without their consent is hypocritical and ignores similar activities by men

Police in South Korea are seeking to arrest the operator of a feminist website, sparking a backlash and accusations of sexism in the justice system.
Police in the southern port city of Busan are seeking to arrest the unnamed operator of Womad on charges of disseminating sexually explicit material after the site posted nude photos taken surreptitiously of a male model. Womad seeks to combat sexism by using the same tactics of their opponents, including online harassment and posting footage from hidden cameras.
The police likened the case to online sexual harassment, and it is at least the second time the site has posted photos of men taken without their consent, one at an art class and another at a public bath house. The authorities have said she is currently outside the country and are seeking help from Interpol.
But the arrest warrant has sparked a backlash, with many online saying the police have done little to punish men guilty of the same crimes. South Korea is in the midst of a wave of protests against pornography taken with hidden cameras in bathrooms, with a monthly demonstration in Seoul drawing tens of thousands of participants. Those protests have highlighted what activists say is a system designed to protect men and ignore women.
In a petition on the presidential Blue House website, nearly 68,000 people derided the government for biased policing, and questioned why the men who run sites that host spycam pornography have not been arrested. Other feminist groups called the police investigation into Womad sexist, part of a pattern of lax enforcement when women are the victims.
"Your attitude is strong evidence that you do not listen to women's voices," the petition said. "Hate speech has always been more severe on sites operated by men, but authorities have never considered this a problem. If this is not a cause of selective justice and misogyny, then what is?"
Police denied charges of sexism, with the commissioner of the national police agency, Min Gap-ryong, saying: "The police are investigating anyone who uploads, spreads and allows the spread of illegal footage", according to the JoongAng Daily newspaper.
This is not the first time Womad has been at the centre of controversy. After a public spat with Catholic officials last month, the group vowed to burn one church every Sunday and posted photos of sacramental wafers on fire.

Sheikh Mansour buys 32% stake in Virgin Galactic
Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al-Nahyan has bought a 32% stake in Virgin Galactic for $280m (£170m), in a deal that values Sir Richard Branson's space venture at $900m.
The deal, bought through the Abu Dhabi sheikh's investment vehicle Aabar, values Virgin Galactic at $900m, despite the fact it is yet to begin commercial operations.
In return it will gain regional rights to host Virgin Galactic tourism and research flights, and is planning to build spaceport facilities in Abu Dhabi. It has also committed $100m to fund plans to launch satellites.
Khadem Al Qubaisi, the chairman of Aabar, said the deal opened a "new avenue of opportunity" for Abu Dhabi.
"The significant partnership not only falls in line with Abu Dhabi's larger plans to inculcate technology research and science at a grassroots level but also complements its aim to be the international tourism capital of the region," he said.
Branson told The Telegraph: "We are delighted to partner with Aabar in a strategic deal that is a first for Virgin Galactic. The initiative will leverage the solid financial backing of Aabar and the pioneering technology and strong global relationships of Virgin Galactic."
The announcement comes as Sir Richard unveils the so-called mothership, WhiteKnightTwo (VMS Eve), for his space tourism plans at the Oshkosh air convention in the US.
Virgin has invested more than $100m into Virgin Galactic since its launch in 2004 and expects the spacecraft that will carry the tourists, SpaceShipTwo, to begin testing later this year.
The investment from Aabar should finance the business until the start of commercial operations, for which a date has not yet been set.
Approximately 300 people, including Stephen Hawking and Formula One driver Rubens Barrichello, have paid $40m in deposits, representing $60m of ticket sales, to guarantee an early seat.

It's been one year since the Department of Economic Inclusion (DEI) was created and its first director hired. Oh, what a difference one year makes. A check of recent statistics shows that DEI is making strides in its efforts to make inclusion a part of the City's growing economy.
January 1, 2016 the City formally enacted the Minority and Women Business Enterprise Program. Since that time DEI has certified 126 minority and women owned businesses; 83 MBE's, 76 of which are African-American; and 33 WBE's of which 28 are MWBE's.

The below data shows how well Oklahoma ranks in the total number of reported uninsured motorists in the state in the year 2015.
Cheap auto insurance in Oklahoma is entirely possible if you know where to look. One of the largest problems Oklahoma residents have is finding an insurance company to give them the best rates .There are dozens, but many people don't realize there are more insurance companies than just those with the biggest names. Some of the smaller agencies only available in certain cities, like Tulsa, and towns offer the best rates, and it all depends on the way you live your own life and how you drive. There is nothing wrong with wanting to pay less for your insurance, but you have to know where to find the best rates and how to get the best deals. Sometimes it's up to you to make sure you get the rates you can afford.
The easiest way to achieve a low rate for your insurance policy is to have good credit. This is indicative of what kind of person you are, and that's how insurance companies determine how much to charge you. None can deny you insurance because of your credit, but they do have the right to change their idea of how much to charge when they see what score you're working with. The more responsible you look with a good credit score, the lower your premium will end up being when you finalize your policy. Low credit typically means a person is not as financially responsible, and those are the people who don't get the best rates.
One of the easiest ways to receive a great rate on your insurance is simply to change the way you pay. If you want to save a few hundred dollars every year, you can do several things. The first is to pay your entire premium in advance. Doing this allows you to forgo monthly fees insurance companies and banks charge you to take the payment from your account. It's usually some sort of convenience fee or online payment fee for using a card. It might seem small at only $5 per month or so, but that's $60 per year that's going to the insurance company rather than staying in your account.
This also helps because you can stop receiving monthly statements. Monthly statements cost a lot to mail, and you can get a nice discount when you opt not to have them mailed to you. You can opt out of them yourself, too. Just let your insurance company know you'd like to do this, and they'll make it happen. Most insurance companies offer a discount of approximately 5% when their policy holders opt to pay in advance. You could save hundreds doing this.
Did you know your insurance company considers where you live and what you do a factor in determining how much you pay for insurance? Your job is one that keeps you safe or it doesn't. If you work a job that keeps you off the road most of the time, such as flying planes, you're going to be less expensive to insure. If you work far from home and spend hours in the car commuting every day, you'll pay more for your insurance than other people with the same car and policy.
If you have a newer car with ample safety features, you'll get a break on your insurance. This is a simple concept, and it's one you can live with. Older cars are often more expensive to repair, which is why they're more expensive to insure. If you have a car with any safety features, alarms, and even devices that make driving safer, you could qualify for a few discounts with your insurance company. It's easy to ask.
It's not always impossible to pay less for insurance even when you feel you're already paying as little as possible. There are ways, and you simply need to employ them to get the best rates. If you can, it's great. If you're one of the few Oklahoma residents who can't lower your rates, you're already paying less than most people in the country as it is.

To file a discovery letter, the victim's lawyer has to send a letter to the insurance company requesting for the details of the insurance coverage. It may be necessary to send follow up letters if the insurance company does not reply back.

Chimney Rx Masonry Water Repellent is a masonry waterproofing product designed to prevent chimney water damage.
DEFY Masonry Chimney Water Repellent is a modified siloxane based product specifically designed for chimneys to penetrate deeply in to most masonry and concrete pores. Unlike acrylics, silicones, and other waterproofing sealers that form a film on the surface and trap water vapors, DEFY masonry waterproofing products allow deep penetration of the active ingredients of up to 1/4 inch or more.
As a result, the special siloxanes in DEFY Masonry Chimney Water Repellent react to form strong chemical bonds beneath a treated surface. These bonds allow the product to become a physical part of the structure and provide long-lasting water repellent protection without altering the appearance of the brick.
Moisture, from either internal or external sources, is usually present in brick, masonry, and concrete. A DEFY Masonry Chimney Water Repellent treatment is 100% vapor permeable, which allows the water vapors to escape. This reduces costly chimney repair such as spalling, scaling, deterioration, and freeze-thaw damage that results from trapped moisture when film-forming water sealers are used. The best way to prevent chimney water damage is by using chimney repair products such as DEFY penetrating (non film-forming) water repellents that will allow vapors to pass through.

Escanaba Trough Expedition: Introduction (AD)
By Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center June 1, 2022
Right-click and save to download
Embarking on a three-week deep-sea research expedition requires a lot of preparation. For this expedition to Escanaba Trough, U.S. Geological Survey scientists and partners spend the first few days in port, building their laboratory space aboard the research vessel Thomas G. Thompson.
Almost everything the scientists need to collect samples and conduct their research must be transported onto the ship with them.
The science team and ship crew will spend the next three weeks at Escanaba Trough, 200 miles offshore, . They'll collect sediment samples in gravity cores. They'll measure water conductivity, temperature, and depth. Using a remotely-operated robot, they'll collect photos, videos, and biological and geological samples from the seafloor along Escanaba Trough. They'll also use an autonomous underwater vehicle to map seafloor features in Escanaba Trough and search for electric and magnetic traces of hydrothermal systems.
Their goal is to improve our understanding of hydrothermal systems as they change over time, as well as the geological and biological characteristics of these deep-sea environments.

A local group with Vernon ties has plans to shoot a movie in Connecticut about legendary jazz singer Billie Holiday over the next two years.
Wayne Holmes, co-owner of Vernon recording studios Rockville USA and a member of Connecticut's Hollywood East Legislative Task Force, planned to make the announcement today in New Haven with entertainment lawyer Isaiah Cooper and discuss details of "Lady Day" already in production.
Queen Latifah has been approached to play the role and has shown an interest in portraying the Harlem singer and her troubled life, Holmes and Cooper say.
Award-winning screenwriter Paris Qualles also has indicated interest in both writing and producing, they say.
Stuart Nicholson, author of the biography "Billie Holiday," has agreed to license his book and background files to the production and act as consultant.
The group says that often non-resident producers take advantage of the state's 30 percent tax credit for shooting films here.
But the Billie Holiday film proves that Connecticut not only has the capacity to host these productions, but also conceive, produce, and deliver major motion pictures originating within the state, they say.
The announcement today at the New Haven Shubert Theater was to feature recordings of Billie Holiday's music.


We want to thank everyone who visited our stand at the exhibition this year and helped made it what we think was a great success!
Next exciting thing happening for us will be the launch of a new website by the end of this year!
All this while working hard on further improving relations with our retailers and customers is exciting indeed!

Portugal has emerged as a candidate to stage the vacant twentieth race date on the 2013 calendar, and France is also in the running.
That's what Bernie Ecclestone said in an interview with Austria's Salzburger Nachrichten newspaper.
Asked about the mid-season and so far unnamed 20th race set aside for a European venue, and also the uncertainty surrounding the venue for the German grand prix, the F1 chief executive admitted: "Frankly, I don't know.
"For the free date, there is interest from France and now also Portugal with the new Algarve track," he said.
"For the German grand prix, it's still open," he said, amid reports either the Nurburgring or Hockenheim could end up hosting the early July event.
Asked if Austria's Red Bull Ring has a chance, Ecclestone answered: "I am glad to be here (holidaying in Austria). But we have too many races in Europe."
Turning his attention to F1's 2013 season, the 82-year-old insisted there is "no reason" why Vettel cannot continue to chase Michael Schumacher's record by winning a fourth consecutive title this year.
He added: "I expect much more from Mercedes with Lewis (Hamilton) involved, and if they are good then also Nico (Rosberg) has a chance.
"You can't forget Jenson (Button), although I doubt McLaren will be right at the front. It will be an exciting year."

Release of SAPS Safer Festive Season Report
In SAPS Releases
MEDIA STATEMENT BY THE POLICE MINISTER GENERAL BHEKI CELE AT THE OCCASION OF THE RELEASE OF SAPS SAFER FESTIVE SEASON REPORT HOSTED IN DURBAN, KWAZULU-NATAL ON TUESDAY 21 JANUARY 2020 Deputy Minister of Police, Mr Cassel Mathale; National Commissioner of the SAPS, General Sithole; Deputy National Commissioner, Lt General Masemola Divisional Commissioners present KZN Provincial
MEDIA STATEMENT BY THE POLICE MINISTER GENERAL BHEKI CELE AT THE OCCASION OF THE RELEASE OF SAPS SAFER FESTIVE SEASON REPORT HOSTED IN DURBAN, KWAZULU-NATAL ON TUESDAY 21 JANUARY 2020
Deputy Minister of Police, Mr Cassel Mathale; National Commissioner of the SAPS, General Sithole; Deputy National Commissioner, Lt General Masemola Divisional Commissioners present KZN Provincial Commissioner, Lt General Jula; SAPS Senior Management; Members of the Media;
Ladies and Gentlemen, our gathering here today is informed by our selfless response to the constitutional mandate as directed in Section 205 to prevent, combat and investigate crime, to maintain public order, to protect and secure the inhabitants of the republic and their property, and to uphold and to enforce the law.
This is further reaffirmed by the founding principles of the ruling party of ensuring that our approach to governance is anchored in the communities we serve. Our concerted efforts of building partnerships and working together with communities and stakeholders in the fight against crime; is exactly what makes the festive season report of the Police, to be a good story to tell.
NO LEAVE IN DECEMBER
Ladies and gentlemen when South Africans were on a joyous holiday season; all men and women in blue worked tirelessly over the festive period, to ensure that all festivities are carried out within the parameters of the law. It is on that score that I want to take this opportunity and again thank all members of the SAPS for always responding positively when duty calls.
Operational plans were put in place to ensure there are more boots on the ground, especially on weekends and around areas where alcohol consumption is high.
Police were out in their numbers conducting patrols, stop and search operations, cordon and searches and roadblocks. They also conducted compliance inspections and shut down establishments operating outside the law.
COUNTRYWIDE INSPECTION TOUR
Members of the media, we criss-crossed the country, during my countrywide inspection tour in December, to assess these police led operations and see for myself how residents, holidaymakers and all those visiting our shores are being kept safe. I can assure you, all officers in all corners of the country were hard at work, giving criminals sleepless nights.
TURN TIDE AGAINST CRIME
In September, the Police Ministry alongside the top management of the SAPS agreed that the only way we as the SAPS can turn the tide against crime, we MUST do things differently! This is why the slogan "ZIZOJIKA IZINTO!" was adopted
Ladies and Gentlemen. Indeed Zijikile Izinto!The Festive Season period according to the SAPS calendar, which started from October 15 to the 11th of January has been the safest.
MURDER DROP
This period has seen a massive drop in most major crimes, with a lesser number of people killed compared to the same period the previous year. The national murder rate during this period declined by 1.4%
NATIONAL CRIME PICTURE
All crimes within the Contact Crime category decreased apart from common assault and robbery with aggravating circumstances. Women and children were also safer this Festive Season, with Sexual offences which includes crimes such as rapes, sexual assault and attempted sexual offences decreased by 9.9%.
There has also been a drop in ALL contact related crimes such as arson and malicious damage to property.This festive season, homes and business property were safer.
Property related crime, such as burglary at residential and non-residential premises, theft out of vehicles and stock theft decreased by 10.2%
AREAS OF CONCERN AND FOCUS POINT
With all these decreasing numbers, I am aware that there are still some stubborn crimes that need urgent intervention and resources.
While 388 suspects have been arrested for car high-jacking during this period.There were more carjacking and truck high jacking cases during the 2019 festive season period, which increased by 11% and 9.0% respectively.
Firearms are the preferred instruments used to commit these crimes.Proactive policing resulted in 4,831 firearms being confiscated during the period in question.
More drunken drivers were also taken off our roads during the festive period. Despite our constant warnings, education and awareness raised, 24,827 drunk drivers were arrested as a result of Police action. This means 4,048 more people were arrested by the SAPS for driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs compared to the previous comparative period.
I am convinced that alcohol remains the enemy of our society and is a main driver of many contact crimes.During the festive season period police shutdown 6,124 liquor stores and taverns due to non-compliance. Over 2000 of these outlets were operating in the Eastern Cape.
SUSPECTS ARRESTED NATIONAL FIGURES
Police action also resulted in the arrest of over 84 thousand suspects for various crimes. This includes 173 parolees. 17 thousand of them remain behind bars and going through the legal system.
Ladies and gentlemen, while we have recently seen embarrassing and very concerning conduct of some members of the South African Police Service recently.
I am confident that these are just isolated incidents that are being dealt with internally and appropriate action will be taken against any member who puts the organisation into disrepute.However, I have no doubt this great organisation is full of dedicated and committed men and women and the festive season successes are evidence of their hard work.
These successes are as a result of planning and execution by all members of the SAPS from top management down to the newest and most junior members of the
SAPS – the Constables that were on the passing out parade in December 2019.
Once again, thank you police officers, for taking up the call to serve and protect while the whole country was at leisure. Your efforts have paid off and you should be proud of your achievements and maintain the good record. The country salutes you.
I want to also thank communities and Community Policing Forums (CPF) and neighbourhood groupings who work in unison with the police to ensure that criminality is not given a chance to flourish.
In conclusion, while the festive season is over, the fight against crime continues. My instruction to all police officers is keep the same spirit, motivation and energy levels in the next decade as we work towards achieving the presidential goal of halving violent crime in 10 years.
Our service delivery mandate still remains and that is to ensure that the People of South Africa are and feel safe. Let us continue to squeeze the space for criminals to ZERO!
