Johannesburg – Controversial Johannesburg metro police department (JMPD) chief Chris Ngcobo has been asked by city bosses to re-apply for his R1.5m-a-year job.<\/p>\n

Ngcobo has been at helm for a decade after he joined the metro cops in June 2001.<\/p>\n

City manager Trevor Fowler<\/a> said the position had been advertised and that Ngcobo was welcome to re-apply as the municipality believed in fair processes.<\/p>\n

According to a highly placed source, Ngcobo\u2019s contract expired in June, but municipality bosses asked him to stay on for an unspecified time.<\/p>\n

In the last 10 years, Ngcobo has been in charge of the biggest metro police force in the country, with about 2 600 operational staff members.<\/p>\n

Under his watch in the last financial year (2010\/11), Ngcobo oversaw:<\/p>\n

\u00bb No less than 335 roadblocks;<\/p>\n

\u00bb More than 7 805 roadside checks;<\/p>\n

\u00bb Joint operations, numbering 76, with the SAPS and 90 more with other law enforcement agencies;<\/p>\n

\u00bb No less than 150 compliance inspections on liquor outlets and panel beaters, spray painters and vehicle repair centres; and<\/p>\n

\u00bb At least 40 operations targeting counterfeit goods.<\/p>\n

Ngcobo was also tasked with achieving a 10-minute response time to serious crimes committed in areas with closed circuit TV in the city centre.<\/p>\n

Six other Johannesburg executive directors, including mayor Parks Tau\u2019s wife Pilisiwe Twala-Tau (community development) have also had their posts advertised.<\/p>\n

The other executive directors are Dr Refik Bismilla (health), Walter Melato (housing), Karen Brits (legal), Flora Mohlago Mokgohloa (environment) and Tiaan Ehlers (development planning).<\/p>\n

Ngcobo\u2019s time in office has not been smooth.<\/p>\n

He was forced to take leave in 2009 after the municipal workers\u2019 union Samwu went on strike after making allegations of improper conduct against him.<\/p>\n

He was cleared of any wrongdoing and returned to work.<\/p>\n

During his tenure, Ngcobo grew the JMPD from a small team of 425 officers with a budget of R274m to 2 600 with a budget of R1.2bn.<\/p>\n

Ngcobo survived a damning Resolve Report in 2005 which found that he had breached \u201crecruitment and selection policies and thereby appointed candidates of his choice\u201d.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, police spokesperson Zweli Mnisi said the integration of all metro police with the SAPS would only happen on completion of thorough research into the matter.<\/p>\n

At its last elective conference at Polokwane in 2007, the ANC resolved that the country should have a single police service.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
