Executive Director of Information Systems & Technology, Hamish Cameron was a guest of the podcast back in mid-2021 when he outlined his ambitions for a mobile workforce transformation program, equipping 6000 sworn and non-sworn staff with a smartphone. Almost two years on, they are now in live pilot, and the podcast discusses device choice, applications developed and loaded, and UX efforts being run in parallel. Outside of the transformation, we also discuss IS&T's efforts to transform its own operations so as to move from a service provider to a trusted advisor and influencer on technology matters to the broader SAPOL. This reflects the broader role that technology is playing in policing, and IS&T's desire to have a front row seat strategically.

Here is the recording of crimefighting activist Ian Cameron's keynote, the most powerful of all presentations at the fifth BizNews Conference. That's saying something, given the impressive lineup. Cameron, who is at the NGO Action Society, uses official data and personal experience to detail how leadership at South Africa's police service was hijacked by criminal elements, resulting in a mere 15% conviction rate for murder and 3% for reported rapes. He details how the law enforcement agency was systematically captured, but concludes there is hope - highlighting early but significant successes achieved through often abrogated devolution of responsibility by provincial structures.

'Big Brother' battle develops in Salisbury, but Liberal senator distances himself from flyers SA Police critical of protesters at council meetings diverting officers from fighting crime Last year, the Adelaide City Council voted unanimously not to include facial recognition technology in new security cameras being installed across the CBD. The council had written to SA Police asking if they could delay using facial recognition technology if it was installed in city cameras until safeguards measures were in place, but police indicated they would likely still use the technology. Attorney-General Kyam Maher told parliament in July that CCTV vision collected by one agency could not be used for another purpose "unless the agency has reason to suspect that unlawful activity has been, is being or may be engaged in". Commissioner Stevens on Wednesday said there was no facial recognition in use in council CCTV networks that alert police if a person appears on CCTV on the street but they can put images through their system to check them against a database of faces. "Their whole idea of a Big Brother thing is really quite ridiculous," Salisbury Mayor Gillian Aldridge told ABC Radio "It's a program to increase your safety and that includes the ability for US to know what your needs are, and that's not invading your privacy with anything at all." This is just my opinion.

By January 1986 internal unrest in South Africa that had started in 1984 was in full swing – with the security forces hard pressed to cope. The SA Police were largely responsible for dealing with the ANC and PAC internally, although the SADF was going to get much more involved later. The unrest would barely calm down before the SADF was involved in a much bigger war in southern Angola, while special ops were increasing against the ANC MK targets in countries other than Angola during this period. The South African military establishment had drawn clear lines between what they regarded as terror activities and politically motivated unrest that was violent. This is an important distinction and had a bearing on how they'd conduct some of their external attacks on ANC cadres. Terror was defined by the SADF as actions conducted by infiltrators who committed political murders, lay mines on roads, and blew up substations and other infrastructure. Unrest was burning down schools and government buildings, barricading streets, large groups of people on streets who'd attack others, sometimes including the terrifying necklace killing technique which was a car tire filled with fuel thrown around the neck of a victim. IN Ovamboland, SWAPOs armed wing PLAN stepped up attacks on administrative officials. IN March 1986 South African President PW Botha proposed in parliament that Resolution 435 be implemented by August, but wanted the Cubans to withdraw from Angola first. In fact, the opposite was going on as we know. Back in Angola, Russian general Konstantin Kurochkin who was a veteran of Moscow's failed push into Afghanistan had instituted his own set of changes. We heard about some last episode, the improved Russian weapon systems, new aircraft, artillery, anti-aircraft and missile systems. As these built up, the SADF began to focus its attention on FAPLAs logistics and weak points. One of these was the port of Namibe in southern Angola. It lay almost directly due west of the Mavinga and Cuito Cuanavale towns. So the Recces were ordered to Namibe and Lobito to try and find out what kind of equipment was being collected, and to report back on any possible targets. After a thorough debriefing, it was decided that an attack on Namibe was feasible. There were vessels in the harbour that could be mined, this would kill two birds with one stone. If the Recces could sink a number of these ships, then the quayside would be virtually unusable. They'd also go after the fuel depot. Eventually, in May 1986, the SADF gave the warning order for Operation Drosdy planning to go ahead. Pretoria had given up on the latest round of negotiations.

DECADES-OLD MYSTERY OF SOMERTON MAN SOLVED - A TRUE CRIME AND COKE QUICKIE The Tamám Shud case, also known as the Mystery of the Somerton Man, is a partially solved case of an unidentified man found dead on 1 December 1948 on The Somerton Park beach, just south of Adelaide South Australia. The case is named after the Persian  phrase tamám shud, meaning "is over" or "is finished", which was printed on a scrap of paper found months later in the fob pocket of the man's trousers. The scrap had been torn from the final page of a copy of Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, authored by 12th century poet Omar Khayyam Tamám was misspelt as Tamán in many early reports, and this error has often been repeated, leading to confusion about the name in the media. Following a public appeal by police, the book from which the page had been torn was located. On the inside back cover, detectives read through indentations left from previous handwriting – a local telephone number, another unidentified number, and text that resembled a coded message. The text has not been deciphered or interpreted in a way that satisfies authorities on the case. The case has been considered, since the early stages of the police investigation, "one of Australia's most profound mysteries". There has been intense speculation ever since regarding the identity of the victim, the cause of his death, and the events leading up to it. Public interest in the case remains significant for several reasons: the death occurred at a time of heightened international tensions following the beginning of the Cold War; the apparent involvement of a secret code; the possible use of an undetectable poison; and the inability of authorities to identify the dead man. In addition to intense public interest in Australia during the late 1940s and early 1950s, the case also attracted international attention. South Australia Police consulted their counterparts overseas and distributed information about the dead man internationally, in an effort to identify him. International circulation of a photograph of the man and details of his fingerprints yielded no positive identification. For example, in the United States, the Federal Bureau of Investigation was unable to match the dead man's fingerprint with prints taken from files of domestic criminals. Scotland Yard was also asked to assist with the case, but could not offer any insights. In recent years, additional evidence has emerged, including an old identification card possibly identifying the Somerton Man as one H. C. Reynolds and an ongoing DNA analysis of hair roots found on the plaster bust. On 19 May 2021, after a series of requests, the body was exhumed for analysis. Police stated that the remains were in "reasonable" condition and were optimistic about the prospect of DNA recovery. On 26 July 2022, Adelaide University professor Derek Abbott claimed that DNA evidence from hair samples removed from his death mask had proven the man to be Carl "Charles" Webb, born on November 16, 1905, in Footscray, in Melbourne, to Richard August Webb and Eliza Amelia Morris Grace; however, SA Police have not yet verified this claim.

SA Police could use Adelaide city facial recognition technology, despite being asked not to Kmart, Bunnings and The Good Guys using facial recognition technology in stores Major Australian retailers Kmart, Bunnings and The Good Guys are using facial recognition technology in stores, raising concerns among privacy experts. The use of this developing technology, which captures and stores unique biometric information such as facial features (known as a 'faceprint'), would come as news to most customers. South Australia Police has indicated it will use the facial recognition capability of new security cameras being installed in Adelaide, despite being asked not to by the Adelaide City Council. Last year, the council — noting concerns about the lack of legal safeguards for facial recognition — voted to ask police to provide a formal undertaking to delay its use of that feature with the new cameras until new laws are passed. "We are comfortable funding the CCTV camera upgrades," Deputy Mayor Arman Abrahimzadeh said. "We know that these upgrades are necessary for public safety and we've sought an assurance from SA Police to assure us that that facial recognition component won't be turned on until such time that legislation is in place." However, SA Police are yet to agree and, in a statement, told the ABC the technology would be useful. "Facial recognition technology can significantly speed up investigations by automating the viewing of large volumes of vision, a painstaking task for investigators. This is just my opinion. Climate laws, carbon tracking apps, facial recognition and Warrantless spying on Australian citizens.

This is episode 8 and we’re dealing with the period in the early 1970s as the border war began to escalate - and the first death of an SADF soldier inside Angola. The Portuguese had fought a ten year war in Angola by early 1970 which was showing some signs of success until the rug was pulled out from the local military and security forces because of a military coup in Lisbon. The South Africans support for the Portuguese in Angola had escalated through the 1960s and by 1968 the South Africans began providing Alouette III helicopters with crews to the Portuguese Air Force. Meanwhile in April 1973, the SA Defence Force assumed responsibility for border protection of South West Africa from the SA Police who had struggled to maintain control in the face of increased insurgency by the South West African People’s Organisation’s armed wing, PLAN. SWA Command consisted of Windhoek, Grootfontein and Walvis Bay which was commanded at that time by Colonel Ian Gleeson. Officer commanding SWA was Jannie Geldenhuys, a person we’re going to hear a great deal about in this series. Apart from the permanent Force members and a few national servicemen at Grootfontein and Walvis Bay, there were also part-time soldiers known as the Citizen Force of 24 Brigade and others in what was known as the local Commando Force. There were unusual characters in these forces such as Colonel Koot Theron and the members of Commandant Hans Heinrich Otto Denk’s 112 Commando Squadron which had its own light aircraft as a spotter plane. The concept of local armed militia was a long tradition in South Africa’s frontier communities.

This is episode 7 and the political pressure is building when it comes to the United Nations and South West African independence. At the time that South Africa had started a series of show trials under the Terrorism and Suppression of Communism Act in 1967 for SWAPO members, the UN Council for South West Africa was drawing up a timetable for the territories independence supposedly set for 1968. What really happened on the ground was that SWAPOs armed wing, the People’s Liberation Army of Namibia or PLAN changed their focus from northern incursions into Ovamboland to the eastern finger of the Caprivi Strip. That was after the South Africans had crushed the first attempts at setting up a base at Ongulumbwashe as we hear last episode. Follow up PLAN insurgency was also defeated and a new strategy was needed. The local population in the Caprivi vascillated however. They did not at least initially, take too kindly to outsiders, mainly Ovambos, pressurising their leaders to support the struggle for independence. As I explained the chief PLAN commander Tobias Nayeko was killed in an intense firefight on a barge on the Zambezi River in 1968, and by March of that year, 160 insurgents were behind bars. After concerted action by the SA Police who were still in command of operations, the Caprivi Strip insurgency quietened down for a few months. But soon violence escalated and the Pretoria government realised it was time for the SA Defence Force to take control.
