'It's been nightmares for everyone': Bheki Cele apologies for backlogs at police forensic science labs

“It has been nightmares for everyone relying on the services of the laboratories to find fight justice and closure,” said Cele.“As the minister of police on behalf of SAPS I want to take this opportunity to apologise sincerely to all victims of crime for the pain and anguish these delays have caused. We owe it to all of you to be transparent about how we got here and how we will improve this situation as we move forward,” said Cele.

Cele said the current national backlog at the forensic science laboratories stood at 208,291 cases — and he attributed this to poor contract management for testing kits.-related and 82,000 were related to gender-based violence and femicide.
