[00:00:00]The last question that I'm going to ask you is about the your your experience as a as a senior officer in the SAPS.

[00:00:06]What entails the process of charging the suspect at the station? When the suspect is charged, what entails that process? Can you unpack it for us? No, a a suspect he must appear before court within 48 hours.

[00:00:30]Therefore, the police, first of all, they must detain a person for proper investigation.

[00:00:39]The case the the OB and D to read suspect came for further investigation.

[00:00:49]Then when uh the time he's been detained all dangerous weapons like maybe, you know, the watches and everything and the belt must be taken from him and be kept in the SAP 22.

[00:01:04]Wallet and cell phones, all they must be taken.

[00:01:11]Now, when they've done their full investigation, they will come and say, "Now, we have got the proof we are now charging the suspect."

[00:01:21]They will take fingerprints and and charge him also in the OB entry SAP 10.

[00:01:29]And also in the SAP 14, they'll charge him.

[00:01:34]And the SAP 14 must must indicate to say, "Remember, he was he was detained firstly." Now, they must cross it to say, "Suspect charged."

[00:01:50]And we have those suspect rights, we will give them in his position.

[00:01:56]And then the suspect is fully charged.

[00:01:58]>> And then the suspect is You'll go to court next day.

[00:02:07]Or on the same day.

[00:02:10]So we are saying the suspect is fully charged. Well, Jonas might be gone from the Senzo Meyiwa trial, that doesn't change that we are still waiting for the OB books and don't don't like listening to the general rewind it, watch it again and just listen to how the general explains everything without missing a heartbeat. This is a man who retired in 2023, but he sounds like he just walked over to Judge Ratha's courtroom from the police station. His [clears throat] experience is undeniable and he sounds like a wealth of knowledge. I mean, with so many SAPS members finally catching arrest warrants and having to be guests of the state like Sergeant Gosi, I think it's time for the state to consider having retired SAPS good members return to the force to train the younger generation to have such passion again.

[00:02:59]Do you agree with me? Let me know in the comment section down below.
