Thesis (MPA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2005. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study was undertaken to determine whether a lack of effective service delivery at
the South African Police Service at Delft was due to a lack of community participation
and development in Delft.
Data was collected through a plurality of research methodologies, including
participatory action research by means of interviews with role players and participative
observation; a literature study; a diachronical study, application of relevant legislation
as a guideline as well as input gained by means of discussion with various experts. The
collected data was analysed in relation to the theme, the objective of the study and the
research hypothesis.
The following observations were made as a result of the study:
• The local police station SAPS Delft, by acting as a catalyst, has assisted in the
establishment of many structures in the community; and
• The erecting of a new police station facilitated community participation and
development.
The study, having considered the observations and drawn conclusions, has offered a
number of recommendations namely:
• The erecting of a new police station should take place simultaneously with the
development of the township where it is situated. By this means all role players
will participate.
• The local government and relevant national government departments are of the
utmost importance when it comes to addressing the root causes of the problems
in the community or when putting alternatives in place.
The location of a police station should be such that its convenience and accessibility
will result in enhanced and sustainable service delivery, provided that the community
capitalises on it. Finally, to ensure success, there must be education and training of
both the police and the community, facilitated by the SAPS, government departments
and NGOs. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die studie is onderneem om vas te stel of die gebrek aan effektiewe dienslewering by
Delft Suid-Afrikaanse Polisie Diens te wyte is aan die gebrek aan
gemeenskapsdeelname en -ontwikkeling in Delft.
Data is ingesamel deur middel van ‘n pluraliteit van navorsingsmetodologië, insluitend
die volgende: deelnemende aksie navorsing deur onderhoude met rol spelers en
deelnemende waarneming; ‘n literatuurstudie; ‘n diakroniese studie, toepassing van
relevante wetgewing as ‘n riglyn asook insae verkry deur besprekings met ‘n
verskeidenheid kenners. Die ingesamelde data is geanaliseer in verhouding tot die
tema en die doelwitte van die studie en is vergelyk met die navorsingshipotese.
Die volgende waarnemings is uit die studie gemaak:
• Die plaaslike polisiestasie, Delft SAPD, het as katalisator gedien om baie
strukture in die gemeenskap tot stand te bring; en
• Die oprigting van ‘n nuwe polisiestasie het gemeenskapsbetrokkenheid en -
ontwikkeling gefasiliteer.
Die waarnemings in ag geneem, is tot die gevolgtrekking gekom dat die volgende
aanbevelings gemaak word:
• Die bou van ‘n nuwe polisiestasie moet saam met die ontwikkeling van ‘n
woonbuurt geskied, waarby alle rolspelers betrokke moet wees; en
• Die plaaslike regering en relevante departemente is van kardinale belang by die
aanspreek van die oorsake van probleme in gemeenskappe of om alternatiewe
in plek te stel.
Die aanwesigheid van ‘n bereikbare en toeganklike polisiekantoor sal beter en
volhoubare dienslewering tot gevolg hê indien die gemeenskap daarop kapitaliseer.
Laastens verg dit egter opvoeding, vir die polisie sowel as die gemeenskap, en
gefasiliteer deur SAPD, staatsdepartemente en nie-regeringsorganisasies om sukses
te verseker.
