Minister launches Police Service Transformation Task Team
Updated | By Slindelo Masikane
On the eve of the fourth year the Marikana massacre is remembered, Police Minister Nathi Nhleko launched the transformation task team in Pretoria.

This will give effect to recommendations made by the Farlam Commission of Inquiry into the tragedy.
The team is made up of 10 members who will report to Deputy Minister of Police, Maggie Sotyu.
44 people were killed during the strike at Lonmin's Marikana mine in 2012.
Scores were injured, and about 200 people arrested.
Policing came under heavy scrutiny after the massacre, with the Farlam Commission of Inquiry raising serious concern over its conduct.
Police, now complying with recommendations, have set up this task team chaired by Reverend Vukile Mehana.
Minister Nhleko said the task team would tackle the demilitarisation and the professionalisation of police.
"The task team is to focus and zone straight into the specific areas that were pointed out by the Farlam Commission of Inquiry amongst which is the question of issues of equipment relating to the Public Order Policing Unit, for an example, the deployment of lethal weaponry, the issue of communication," he said.
