South African police give up on deadlines for body camera rollout

• South African police have abandoned any timeline for a national rollout of body cameras.
• The procurement process is still underway, and the tender has not been concluded due to poor planning and budgetary constraints.
• The DA will continue to fight for the national rollout of body-worn cameras in South Africa, while experts warn that the lack of accountability and transparency could damage the SAPS's brand and hinder its strategic goals.
