From the article:
In his 2020 State of the Nation Address (Sona), President Cyril Ramaphosa announced that government will establish a new Crime Detection University in Hammanskraal to improve the quality of general and specialised SAPS investigations.

Expanding on this new university in a recent parliamentary Q&A, minister of Higher Education, Science and Technology Blade Nzimande said that in terms of the Higher Education Act the institution cannot immediately be established as a university but will instead be opened as a ‘higher education college’.
