As of 2022, the total number of crime-related emergency call-takers required in 10111 emergency call centers outweighs the actual number of call-takers deployed in all nine provinces in South Africa. The province with the most severe staff shortage was the Eastern Cape, with only 244 out of 628 assigned call-takers. Mpumalanga province followed with only around 22% of the necessary staff members placed at their emergency call centers. This presents a serious issue for South Africans who may need an urgent response from the South African Police Services.
