The purpose of the orientation was highlighted by the Detective Commander of Amathole District, Brigadier Freddie.

This seminar will prepare officers for their tasks ahead in their newly promoted positions.\u2019 He also mentioned that this seminar aims to encourage members to make a difference in the province.<\/P>
Deputy Provincial Commissioner for Support Services, Major General Kunene delivered the key note address and encouraged the attendees to participate and contribute in this informative seminar which is extremely beneficial to everyone. \u2018I urge you to get to know your management at your stations and units. Commanders must familiarise themselves with their station area and it is important to know your stakeholders within your community. In order to equip you with the tools for your performance, management felt that an orientation seminar must be held for our newly appointed officers. I appeal to all of you managers, do not be selfish with information, knowledge and experience. Planning is very important for leadership skills through networking and sharing. SAPS is mandated by the Constitution and members and commanders should know the Police Act, regulations and the Code of Conduct. Commanders and members must work as a team to benefit the SAPS and to take SAPS to the next level,\u2019 added Maj Gen Kunene.<\/P>
