This is according to police minister Bheki Cele in a written parliamentary response to the DA this week.

The cases include rape, statutory rape, murder, domestic violence, attempted murder, assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, contempt of court, malicious damage to property, intimidation and pointing a firearm.“Of major concern is that, of the 113 police stations in which the perpetrators work, five of them are already in the top 30 list of GBV hotspots that was released by minister Cele in September.

“It is important that minister Cele takes a public stand against GBV by drawing the line against harbouring perpetrators within SAPS ranks,” said Clarke. While it remained unclear if the 139 officers remained on duty, Clarke said the DA would seek clarity. “The DA will be submitting supplementary questions to the minister asking him to clarify whether the perpetrators have been charged for their offences, are on active duty or have been dismissed,” Clarke said.
