The SAPS is also implementing a policing concept aimed at raising the levels of community involvement at grass roots levels. This concept is called ‘sector policing’ and directly means the division of police precincts into smaller, more manageable geographic areas. In communities where the concept is fully functional, those involved have reported positive changes on the levels of crime. The business community, through Business Against Crime South Africa (BACSA), also partners with the SAPS to fight crime. In order to give effective support to Government, BACSA has mobilised partnerships with business associations/organisations which focus on crime matters on behalf of the business sector. The organisation also enjoys strong support from Business Leadership South Africa (BLSA) and Business Unity South Africa (BUSA). To illustrate commitment in the fight against crime, the operating budget of BACSA in the 2009/2010 financial year is R26.7 million. The budget includes project operational costs and overheads of 15%. The budget will also ensure the optimum implementation of the following projects: • The Violent Organised Crime (VOC) Work Group: crime prevention and response to specific requests from SAPS regarding Business Robberies, Residential Robberies, and Motor Vehicle Hijackings, • The Criminal Justice System (CJS) Review: aimed at bringing together the Judiciary and Magistracy, the Police, Prosecutors, Correctional Services and the Legal Aid Board and other interventions including the empowerment of CPFs, • The Non-ferrous Metal Theft (NFMT) Project: assisting government initiatives in combating the theft of nonferrous metals. 8.4 Xenophobia Xenophobia is a problem afflicting countries around the world.
