Police minister Bheki Cele has apologised to victims of crime whose cases have been delayed by backlogs at forensic crime labs.

Opposition parties slammed the SAPS saying it has failed victims of crime, specifically gender-based violence and rape.

DA MP Andrew Whitfield placed the blame squarely on Cele, but said President Cyril Ramaphosa was complicit in the crises. because the minister has failed so spectacularly to resolve a crisis which he has caused, the“Fundamentally, though, this is a debate about justice and why the failure to take forensicmost violent crimes in our country.

EFF MP Naledi Chirwa also slammed the SAPS, saying they raised the matter of “crises of rape kits” across the country. “You were quick to say we were lying, knowing very well the harrowing stories of the children as young as three years old being subjected to seeing their rapists roaming the streets because you do not process DNA rape evidence kits.

Not only that. I know at least two female forensic pathologists who have emigrated because the state have frozen all local posts for years now So there you go.

Can the honourable Cele please explain why there are delays?

😂 😂 😂 says the recurring nightmare himself

Not good enough and we don't forgive you 🖤

Dont apologies dude... do something about. Oh wait sorry I forgot how incompetent you are.

SAPS been trash 🗑️😤

Not accepted

Apologies do not give you permission to continue with the incompetence. Fix it!

It’s nauseating that highly paid public officials think that apologising for their incompetency is all that they need to do🤬

The backlog is due to the minister’s incompetence and the useless cadre deployed senior SAPS management. They have betrayed the Nation ...

This backlog has been going on for years now. And still no remedy. I am starting to think that it is on purpose

Oh that helps... what are you doing about it , let’s see action like we saw with your idiotic alcohol ban

Abramjee Stop the apology and start doing something. Creat jobs... Millions unemployed people would sign up. Departmental failure. Take off the blinkers.

Go and arrest another surfer and let the grown ups talk Mr Cele.

Reasons Why Not To Invest&Visit in South Africa: 1. Racist BBBEE laws 2. Corruption 3. Crime 4. Unfriendly labour legislation 5. Land Expropriation without compensation 6. Failing infrastructure 7. No electricity 8 Illegal foreigners 9 City Name Changes(Port Elizabeth)

Abramjee That backlog is nothing new, every year same thing

Doesn't care. He has his black hat on.

What happened to accusations that the forensic crime lab has been offline?

VoetsekANC

A “nightmare for everyone“ right, yeah.

Stop apologising for not doing your job. Resign

Don't apologize. Fix it!

EXCEPT YOU 🤔🤔🤔🙄🙄🙄🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Justice delayed is justice denied!

With new lockdowns approaching, he will be on the beach again 👀

Apologies don't cut it. In a more accountable society, heads would roll or people would resign. These tests could be outsourced to private labs. The ANC government will *never* eliminate this backlog. And they know it. Above their collective pay grade.

No nightmare for you definitely, not with his fat cat cheque he takes home monthly

Actions speak louder than words neh
