Africa is joined by Eldred De Klerk, Senior policing and social conflict specialist at Africa Centre for Security and Intelligence Praxis to talk about why only two Farlam Commission recommendations were implemented 10 years later

Eldred says that the issue is that we need to do more than demand the implementation of a bunch of recommendations. Even if all of it was implemented, the South African Police Service (SAPS) would not necessarily have been any different today
