He holds a National Diploma in Police Administration, a National Diploma in Policing and a B-tech Diploma in Policing.
Divisional Commissioner: Supply Chain Management:
Major General Johannes Riet has been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General. He joined the Service in 1986 and has 33 years’ service.

SAPS Management is confident that all three of the above appointments will enhance accountability and service delivery to the South African Police Service and the people of South Africa.

SAPS PROVIDES UPDATES ON OUTSTANDING PROMOTIONS AND RE-GRADING OF POSTS
In an effort to address a backlog in promotions and re-grading of posts, SAPS Management is also pleased to announce that 21 364 employees have benefited from this process in the 2019/2020 Financial Year.
In the last financial year (2018/2019), a total of 32 000 employees also benefited. This brings the total number of employees who were advanced in their careers in a period of two years, to 53 364.
Not only promotions in the form of grade progressions were implemented, but also the re-grading of the entry level of transverse and non-transverse Public Service Act were implemented.
“As a Service we are proud with the inroads that have been achieved in finalising the backlog. It would have been ideal to promote all the members at one go, but due to financial implications, the process has been broken down in a multi-year cycle for completion, and we are hoping to finalise this process in due course. Our overall goal is to ensure that we address inequalities within the Service with a view of sustaining a motivated workforce. We take this opportunity to commend all our members for their commitment and dedication in the fight against crime amid the current pandemic”, concluded General Khehla Sitole, the National Commissioner of the SAPS.
