Acting Police Minister Firoz Cachalia says there are no plans for the construction of a new police station in Kraaifontein or surrounding areas within the coming decade.



Responding to parliamentary questions, Cachalia said Kraaifontein was prioritised in 15 capital works projects that did not form part for the next five years.



Cachalia said: “There are currently no plans for the construction of a new police station at Kraaifontein, Cape Town, for the next five to 10 years. 



“Kraaifontein has been prioritised among the next top 15 capital works projects by the provincial commissioner for the Western Cape, which does not form part of the current Infrastructure Development Programme (IDP) for the 2025/26 to 2030/31 financial years.”



Cachalia was asked by DA MP Karl le Roux about plans for a new police station to be built in Kraaifontein or surrounds, either north or south of the N1 Highway, in the next five to 10 years.



Le Roux had wanted to know whether any decision has been made to determine whether the police station would be a full-service or satellite police station.



Cachalia said there are no immediate plans to construct a police station in Kraaifontein or surrounding areas.



No timeline for new Kraaifontein police station



“No timelines can be provided at this stage, as the SAPS is still implementing the first top 10 priority projects as signed off by the Western Cape provincial commissioner.”



He also said according to the organisational development work study report dated February 2010, Kraaifontein will be a fully-fledged police station.



“The police station will serve the Kraaifontein and Durbanville communities,” said the minister.
