SAPU calls for review of suspensions in civil service

Letter to Mail and Guardian Newspaper
In response to your questions the South African Policing Union (SAPU) with
85 000 paid members in the SAPS would like to state it categorically clear we
fully support any genuine initiatives to beef up security in the country not only
