- Description
- Police and Prisons Civil Rights Union (Popcru) was established in November 1989 under the leadership of former Lieutenant Gregory Rockman. Popcru was formed to combat problems within the police force which were caused by the former apartheid regime and the then racist SA Police management. Before the birth of Popcru, the public sector was not covered by any laws. As a result, even police officers, warders and wardresses could not openly express their political opinions, thus it became illegal for them to form a trade union. Since the passing of the Labour Relations Act in 1993, members of the SA Police Service (SAPS), Department of Correctional Services and traffic officers have joined Popcru in great numbers.
