    SARPCCO Women’s Conference

    In 2007, the SARPCCO Police Chiefs approved for the establishment of SARPCCO Women’s Network. The following are the objectives of the SARPCCO Women’s Network:

    • To provide a strong support network structure for women employees within SARPCCO Countries;
    • To facilitate the career advancement of women through leadership training programmes;
    • To develop an assertive cadre of women leaders capable of independent thinking, thereby contributing to quality service delivery;
    • To market career opportunities for women at all levels within SARPCCO member Countries in an attempt to develop a full representative workforce in Police Agencies
    The history of women in policing has been a long and a difficult one. In most of Member Countries women were not allowed to be in policing, it took decades for women to be allowed in policing, and as such women are under-represented in the police workforce of most Member Countries mostly in the leadership positions.

    Most Member Countries are signatory to the National and Regional Instruments that seek to empower women; this includes the Beijing Platform for Action, the Convention on Elimination of all Forms of Unfair Discrimination Against Women.

    The establishment of SARPCCO Women’s Network was to enable for Member Countries to ensure that International, Regional and Local Instruments are implemented to ensure that the overall lives of women are improved.

    Since its inception the network has grown in leaps and bounds with women taking massive strides within the organization. The women's network also focuses much of its efforts on empowering women within the organization and proactively addressing the concerns of women. Members use the forum to share ideas and knowledge from their countries to increase the impact of policing. This network also plays an active role in championing service delivery and social crime prevention programs by women especially programme related to crimes against vulnerable groups.

    Women have taken up centre stage in the SARPCCO and are occupying decision making positions including those of Police chiefs. This was evident when the Acting National Commissioner of the SAPS Lt General J K Phahlane took over the reins of chairmanship of SARPCCO, becoming the first woman to chair the organisation.

    Another major achievement in the region was the hosting of the 51st International Association of women Police (IAWP) training conference in Kwa-Zulu Natal in September 2013.

    We would like to welcome you all to the 2015 SARPCCO regional training conference. Empowered women empower women.

    The SARPCCO Women’s Network also focuses on the empowerment of women, which resulted in development of courses specifically for women:
    • SARPCCO Command and Leadership Course for Senior Women
    • SARPCCO Command and Leadership Course for Emerging Women
    These courses are focusing on issues of leadership, which amongst the other include strategic Management, Performance Management and Financial Management, to enable women to compete equally and be able to function in decision making positions.

    The SARPCCO Regional Training Conference for women will be an opportunity to expose women in various training interventions and skills in relation to policing and leadership in order to contribute meaningfully in the fight against crime.

    The training will focus on the four critical pillars i.e sharpening investigation skills of members, prevention of gender based violence, importance of leadership in policing and self- mastering.

    Message Of Support From The Acting National Commissioner Of The South African Police Service, Lt General J K Phahlane, At The Sarpcco Training Conference For Women In October 2015

    It has been eight years since the Southern African Regional Police Chiefs Cooperation Organisation (SARPCCO) approved the establishment of its Women’s Network. Over the years, many splendid achievements were attained in pursuit of a better working environment for women in policing across our borders:

    The Women’s Network has embarked on the noble, yet huge, task of furthering female empowerment in law enforcement in the region. We function on a continent that has, as with most policing agencies across the globe, been associated with discrimination against women in the past.

    One of the main objectives of the Women’s Network is to continuously challenge and change the status quo, particularly in policing across Africa. We have the responsibility of breaking through this imaginary glass ceiling.

    Meeting here again, sends a steadfast message that we are realising our potential as women and are acting on decisions and goals that we have been setting for ourselves since the inception of SARPCCO’s Women’s Network. This network has indeed made great strides in unearthing untapped potential within its ranks.

    This conference yet again brings together important, experienced, senior, female leaders across our member states who will share and empower each other in specific areas of our profession as law-enforcement officials.

    The conference has especially encouraged interaction and networking among women across our borders, and has inspired us to familiarise ourselves with constant changes confronting policing in our own countries, regionally and internationally.

    Research, presentations and courses that have been presented to members have contributed to the successful conferences we have held before. This year, SARPCCO’s Women’s Network focuses on the empowerment of women, which has resulted in the development of the following courses specifically for women:

    • SARPCCO’s Command and Leadership Course for Senior Women
    • SARPCCO’s Command and Leadership Course for Emerging Women;
    I am certain that this gathering will again be a resounding success. The robust engagements that will seek to transform SARPCCO and the female emancipation agenda will flourish and bear fruit for the future generation of SARPCCO. May the proceedings of this gathering be a source of reference and anchor of excellence as we tread carefully toward female empowerment and in our endeavour to rid our SADC region of crime.

    Message Of Support From The Deputy Minister Of Police, Ms Maggie Sotyu, At The Sarpcco Training Conference For Women In October 2015

    Since the democratic-elected ANC Government came into power in 1994, it has been implementing ample gender equality legislation and measures to transform the status of all women in South Africa.

    This became mainly possible as South Africa had dedicated itself to being an active signatory in all the international associations and projects that commit themselves to gender equality associations and projects such as:
    • The Convention on Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women
    • Millennium Development Goal No 3 Promote Gender and Equality and Empower Women.
    No wonder South Africa is boasting with many progressive “firsts” in the empowerment of women in law enforcement agencies.

    In 2012, for instance, His Excellency, the President of the Republic of South Africa, appointed the first female National Commissioner of the South African Police Service (SAPS). In 2013, the SAPS became the first African Police Organization to host the International Association of Women Police (IAWP) Training Conference. Again in 2014, the National Commissioner of the SAPS became the first female to take over the reins of chairpersonship of SARPCCO.

    Inevitably, all these “firsts” opened doors for future women to pass through, and we must pay tribute to these pioneers.

    Notwithstanding, I also tend to align myself with a researcher who once said: “Achieving real change does not come just by recruiting more women, real change comes from improved implementable policies, structures and practices leading to changes in the organizational culture”.

    This means, instead of policing institutions ONLY focusing on restructuring, retraining, and adequately equipping the police members, the management must also pay attention to changing the culture of policing, including shaping law enforcement agencies into more gender-sensitive organizations.

    To specifically achieve the above, the SAPS must have strong female policing networks and associations. Mainstreaming and practising of gender equality in all the SAPS’s strategies, policies, Standing Orders, and National Instructions are needed.

    As the SAPS hosts the SARPCCO Women’s Training Conference, the attending delegates must all take stock of all previous deliberations and resolutions taken at the 2013 IAWP Conference at the 2014 SARPCCO Extra Ordinary Meeting Conference, and the recently held 2015 SARPCCO 20th Annual General Meeting.

    The SARPCCO Women’s Network must also be the voice of all female police officials with lower ranks who might not be at this conference, who are working in a range of challenging and hostile environments that resist reform. These women police officials expect and anticipate implementable and impactful resolutions to empower them in their immediate mandate to fight crime.

    Abstract:
    Human diversity in general and workforce diversity in particular present both challenges and opportunities for individuals, organisational leaders, work teams, organisations and society.  Maximising the advantages of diversity and minimising its potential disadvantages require, first and foremost, that the concept of diversity and the practice of diversity management be correctly defined and demystified.  This presentation will address the concept and practice within the contexts of the socialisation process, inputs and outputs, team work and collaboration, service delivery and customer service, as well as leadership in the changing world of work.  Furthermore, the presentation will unpack universal principles in diversity and their application in dealing effectively with local diversity dynamics.  It will also highlight, in a constructive and educational spirit, our own hidden biases that impact decision-making, problem-solving, creativity and innovation in today’ diverse landscape.  Finally,  the presentation will visit key motivational themes that would provide holistic perspectives that are aimed at unleashing winning work behaviours for one’s own career success.

    6. Latest trends on cyber crimes

    Attorney Susan Potgieter (SABRIC)
    PhD (Management)
    Professor of Information Communications and Technology
    Joined the University of the Western Cape in 2007 after spending 22 years in the corporate world as an Information Technology specialist, and thereafter I joined UNISA in 2013. In the last six and a half years, I have produced over 20 peer-reviewed articles, two books and presently 9 articles under review in accredited journals.  My career as an information professional has included a focus on the relationship between information and business science, retail science, and education.  I believe in reflective and empirical evidence-based practices. Thus, I have been active in research involving information use and instruction from my perspective as an ICT professor. During my PhD studies, time allowed me to extend these interests to focus on the use of computers in secondary education as well.
    My career as an information technology professional has two clear focal areas: on the relationship between information technology and businesses, and on the use of information technology in secondary school education.  These two areas by no means detract from my dedicated research in Information Technology, but rather enhance it. Most businesses are overwhelmed with an array of technological tools that have become available to them in order to remain competitive. The manner in which these two areas are fused is that information technology plays a vital role in the technologies being used in secondary schools to improve education and information technology should be used as a vehicle to enhance business competitiveness.

    My research foci in the business space are innovation and technology, retail systems, business intelligence, cybercrime  and competitive intelligence which are all connected to real life applications to the business world. I am interested in defining a new avenue of research related to the use of distributed computing in personal, social, and institutional environments. Through this analysis my research seeks to further understand the slow paced characteristics of South Africa's digital economy from a technological viewpoint, both in businesses and in secondary schools.

A brief profile of the pese presentations include

    PAPER
    In this presentation service delivery is unpacked. In particular the idea of “service” to heterogeneous society within different expectations and measures of satisfaction is analysed comprehensively. Once unpacked, the implications for this understanding of service to professional police is assessed. In particular reflections on processes, standards and management systems are explored from a police environment perspective. Consequently a few considerations are proposed for the police to influence the its environment to be “service delivery” oriented. In conclusion, a few open questions are posed that are meant to stimulate debate and influence the discussions during the workshop.

After successfully completing the training Lt Colonel Niemand became a member as well as the only South African representative of The Violent Crimes against Children International Task Force (VCACITF).
    The internet has brought the world to our children’s fingertips providing access to vast resources of information and the opportunity to communicate with people from around the world. Smart devices and social media have become part of our children’s lives and they have strongly influenced how our children create, share or exchange information with others. Unfortunately the same devices and applications have been embraced by sex offenders, who have proven to be skilled to gain access to children. Heinous, horrendous and malicious sexual crimes against children happen every second of everyday around the country, moving South Africa’s social history towards being nothing more than a catalogue of child sexual abuse and exploitation. Infarct, given that children are struggling to live normally in an emotionally, physically and psychologically-toxic social environment in a society where social consensus against intergenerational sex is fast disappearing from its culture. South Africa seems to have moved from being a racial apartheid state (for segregation and discrimination on the grounds of race) to a child sexual apartheid state (on the grounds of the sexual abuse and exploitation of children).

    The 1994 democratisation of South Africa marked the end of western-centric oppressive rule in Africa.  Post this epoch, Africa under the AU collective, began to seek new ways to reposition itself as a progressive continent.  The one point of departure in this regard was to find solutions to sustainable peace, security and economic growth.  The dawn of the 21st Century was thus recognised globally as the era of the African Renaissance.  The same century has at its genesis, registered some notable successes towards attaining peace and security.  The ending of the wars in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea-Bissau; peace in the DRC after violent elections, although parts of the country remain volatile; and the 2005 return to democracy in Mauritania, are some of the feats.   Despite the achievements, organised crime and terrorism however continue to present problems.  SADC also faces the same challenges.  The lack of resources, poor intelligence, vast geographical areas, borders, coastlines and poor regional policing are some of the contributing factors.  To keep security, one of the key interventions would thus have to include the intensification of studies on the complex interactions between police work, organised crime and terrorism.  For the police, efficiency in dealing with organised crime could never be separated from efficiency in dealing with terrorism.  Terror attacks have resulted in many lives lost and has caused humanitarian crises globally.  The 9/11 attacks on the WTC in 2001, the 2013 Nairobi shopping mall attack, the 2015 Paris satirical magazine attack on staff, the 2015 suicide bombing in Copenhagen, the ongoing killings and displacement of civilians by Boko Haram and al Shabaab in Africa, and the public beheadings by ISIS in some parts of Asia, attest to the horrors.  To keep security, SADC needs to proactively guard against terror activities overflowing into the region.  Thus, regional powers need to commit more resources, increase political will towards law enforcement, and adapt to innovative policing approaches.

    Trafficking in person is a crime that ruthlessly exploits and women, children and men for numerous purposes, including forced labour and sex. This global crime generates billions of dollars in profits for the traffickers. Every country in the world is affected by trafficking in persons whether as a country of origin, transit, or destination for victims. Trafficking in Person is not only one of the fastest growing criminal activities in the world but a serious violation of human rights, in particular of women and girls.
    Trafficking in Persons requires a forceful response funded on the United Nations Conventions against Transnational Organised Crime and its protocol to prevent, suppress and punish Trafficking in Person, especially women and children. Efforts to prevent and combat this crime should be centered on assistance to victims and promotion and protection of their rights while strengthening the criminal justice response and increasing cooperation and coordination.

    EXPERIENCE
    Vast experience gained in the investigation of Stock Theft and related cases as well as Organised Crime cases.

    Appointed as Acting Provincial Head of the Detective Service in North West Province.
    Involved in the writing of the new North West Animal Pounds Act, Act 7/2010.

    Challenges faces by Stock theft Units
    Lack of municipal /state owned pound in SA
    Lack of legislations or By laws to regulate the speculators  for buying stock from the villages
    Cross Border fences between two countries RSA and Botswana are not in good conditions  and as a results of that Animal Diseases might be brought  to either one country or the other.
    Many stray stock animal from other e.g Botswana have been recovered in South Africa and it seems as if farmers of SA and other countries  do not look or take care of their stock .
    Failure to brand mark or tattoo of the stock by the farmers leads to impoundment of that stock.

    Recommendations
    The Department of Agriculture should upgrade  the border fences, maintain them properly in order to prevent  the live stock from entering SA VISA VERSA.
    Relationship between SA and other SARPCOO countries need to be retained
    Border patrols on both sides of the border should be increased.
    Regular cross border meetings between policing agencies should take place in order to share information and to plan operations

    Colonel Mothle (SAPS)
    National Diploma- Policing :University of SA  (Unisa)

He started his investigation duties at Eersterust police station as a general detective. He was confronted with property related crimes where most of the property involved was a vehicle. He achieved a lot of convictions on cases where a stolen vehicle was recovered and the arrested person could be linked to the original theft. His dedication and commitment did not go unnoticed, the area head of detectives, transferred him to join the then vehicle crime investigation unit which was affectionately known as “voertuigtak:

    He performed very exceptional that his commander moved him to the vehicle clearance office where he was responsible for the issuing of import and export clearances on vehicles. Head office vehicle crime support identified his capabilities and caused him to join their team as a commissioned officer who was responsible to investigate corruption, complaints against the police and manage the systems.

    PAPER
    Theft of motor vehicles by people who intend to make profit out of them, the movements of motor vehicles across national borders into other countries suggest that theft of motor vehicles is a transnational organised crime. Criminals do not respect geographical borders when committing vehicle crime, they operate in a borderless world while the law enforcement agencies are significantly constrained by having to operate in a bordered world.

    Unscrupulous border officials and inefficient law enforcement assists the criminals in continuing with their trans border criminal activities.A motor vehicle appears to be the most targeted  commodity in South Africa because it is considered as the largest investment which an average household will make. Not forgetting that this crime is closely intertwined with trafficking in human beings and human organs, drugs, firearms, counterfeit goods, illegal cigarettes and other trans national crimes. It is also regarded as a forerunner of other forms of violent crimes and is a hidden tax that increases the cost-of-living for everyone.

    Cross border vehicle crime causes financial losses to the victims and expenditures on police investigation. Transnational Organised Crime syndicates acquire trillions of Rands as proceeds from the sale of stolen vehicles

    INTERVENTIONS
    The fight against transnational organised vehicle crime should adopt a multi-disciplinary approach, a collaborative and dedicated partnerships at all levels of the private and public sectors. 
    Conduct regular road blocks.
    Share information with everyone with a need to know.
    Revisit current training interventions.
    Procure latest technology and equipment that can be used to fight and dismantle organised crime groups.

    25. Femicides : an end product –Domestic Violence

    ADV KAMBULA
    B.IURIS and LLB degrees obtained from UNITRA. In 2007 she further acquired a diploma in Advanced Management cum laude at MANCOSA.

    is the Head of the Promotion of the Rights of Vulnerable Groups Unit in the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development. She joined the Department in October 2010. Her Unit is primarily mandated to establish and maintain a transformed and accessible justice system that promotes the rights of women, children, older persons, and persons with disabilities. Through initiatives, her unit is tasked with the national implementation of legislation and policies relating to the promotion and protection of the rights of vulnerable groups.

    After the recorded success of the Wynberg Sexual Offences Court, in 1999 Adv Kambula was tasked by the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) to initiate the roll-out of these courts in the country, and under her leadership, the second Sexual Offences Court was established in Mdantsane, EC during the same year. Her commitment to the fight against sexual violence became more momentous when she recently headed the Ministerial Task Team on Sexual Offences Courts, which the Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development established in 2012. Under her leadership, this Task Team successfully conducted an investigation into the viability of the re-establishment of Sexual Offences Courts in South Africa, and subsequently advised the Minister to re-establish these courts. Adv Kambula is now tasked by the Department to lead the Sexual Offences Courts Project aimed at concretising the recommendations of the Task Team.

    Praise also specialises in the domestic violence field. During 2000 to 2003, she successfully led a team of South African and Canadian writers who wrote the very first Integrated Domestic Violence Training Manual Package. This work has now been adopted by a number of African countries. Her compassion to the disadvantaged yielded into the birth of the Ndabezitha Programme in 2005, which she developed and led whilst she was employed at NPA. This Programme is a rural-based intervention that seeks to end cultural practices leading to domestic violence. It is a national programme that involves traditional leaders, and is still moving strong. In 2010, Adv Kambula authored the ‘My Safety Plan’ booklet aimed at encouraging the victims of domestic violence to take precautionary steps to escape from the violent attacks unharmed. This initiative seeks to reduce the rate of domestic homicides in the country, and it was launched by the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development in 2013.
    In her career, Adv Kambula has delivered papers both at national and international platforms and has participated in many media interventions on issues related to gender-based violence. In her spare time, she takes pride in serving her community as a pastor

    Acknowledgement

    Lt Gen CC Binta

    As the Chairperson of the South African Police Service’s Women’s Network Executive Council, I would like to thank all of you for making the first 2015 SARPCCO Regional Training Conference for Women in Policing, a reality.

    It has been a long journey, following the planting of a seed at the SARPCCO Women’s Network Subcommittee meeting held in Namibia in March 2015.

    Furthermore, let me extend my gratitude to everyone who made this conference such a successful event. Each one of you has made a unique contribution, and while it is impossible to give recognition to any specific individual, I want you to know that your collective effort is acknowledged and appreciated.

    In our quest for women empowerment and equality within law enforcement, we pledge to continue developing ourselves through networking, training and mentoring each other. We further commit ourselves as a collective to identifying opportunities that will give women the same level of competency that will enable them to compete on an equal footing with their male counterparts.

    Let me conclude by thanking all SARPCCO Police Chiefs for allowing us as the South African Police Service to host the first Police Women Training Conference and for releasing the members from their duties to attend this conference.

    I hope every one of you will use the opportunities provided to learn, network and keep safe while enjoying your stay in South Africa.
