Quick breakdown on certain issues. It is a requirement to have a valid(?) Lisence and matric (?). It is however not a requirement to have a lisence when you apply for a civilian post,ie groundsmen ect. But it just so happens that some bright spark had an idea to create "lateral/external" posts. This means that any person,whether a Saps member or civilian, may apply for such a post (which is almost 100% certeain to be a officer's post). This means,that the member,who in some cases are committed to his work,are being negatively affected,by not being promoted. Such a person,who skipped the whole transition from college to functional,are now in a position to issue instructions to other members,and in short,giving the Saps a very bad name (such as learning how to drive for example).It is a bery long,very spiralling story to tell, and not worth going into it,as it is not going to change. Another reason for the Police "learner" drivers (lol),are that whenever a member gets into a lot of state accidents (no fixed number however),the commander of such member may at his/her own discretion send such a member to the so-called "driving school".
