From 25 April – 29 June 2022, involved in a process undertaken to finaliseSAPS report that included using consultants to finalise the work of the report. Due to several quality constraints and lack of understanding of thebrief, Research internal unit finalised the report. With the appointments of Section 6 Committee members finalised, the task team regularly met with the members between 19 Apriland 30 June and the following had been done to date: 3. Working meetings have taken place with the draft report imminent from 06 October 2021 and 09 November 2021 4. An interim draft report was presented to the members by Section 6committee 5. Roundtable date requested to be diarised Deputy Chair has requested all correspondence on this process come from the appropriate office. Chairperson as Executive Authority or the Office of the CEO. It was agreed in previous meeting that all matters be dealt with at institutional level, as it was noted with concern that media requests have been made and external parties on the issue of the Section 6 Committee. The plenary will be appraised on any other matter during the meeting. No meetings with provincial staff held on APP implementation, despite request to encourage joint planning. My recommendation to strengthen processes and support at provincial level there needs to be the following: 1. Processes that guide roles and responsibilities with Commissioners and provincial managers. 2. Minimal standard operating procedures (SOPs) guiding theworking relationship as any other office would have 3. Reporting (as and where necessary) to Commissioners as a standard practice (to be included in the SOPs) – on legal cases/complaints and or high level/strategic engagements 1. TORs approved 2. Appointment of Section 6 Committee
