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.
The ANC in their warped quest to control everything has failed all its people including cops. Rotten from the head down. What they have never taken into account is accountability! Now let’s pray that justice prevails and all the rot in this swamp is drained sooner than later
Being a policeman requires a special type of person with the right ethos and desire to make a difference in the world. They need to be assessed and correctly trained b4 being employed in a job that can be soul destroying and traumatic. They need trauma support/ non existent in SA
tee_thespian this profession has mental issues and abuse of power problems, their handling on woman issues being reported you can tell , its not longer about the actual case being reported but now his personal experience. Pity they dominate the field
MbuyiseniNdlozi What a fucking shock!
Osknil01
MbuyiseniNdlozi More than 4000 are criminals, including this wannabe cowboy
Niki15201174 Cele needs to practice what he preaches, oh sorry he is all talk and very little action or competence in the field of law and order
MbuyiseniNdlozi How can they then be in the positions they're in. Disgraceful
Shameful and they are the folk we should trust! Hell no!
This is scary because these stats are just from 13 police stations. What more when we coblver stats from the rest of the police stations in SA
MbuyiseniNdlozi Ths arrogance is coming from somewhere
Throw them in jail
Ababoshwe i uniform e blue abayilungele belungwele e orange
The people tasked with protecting are the perpetrators 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
MbuyiseniNdlozi These ppl are only competent when it comes to the petty things... Like violating and terrorising their own citizens... Where is the S.A.N.D.F right now...? 🚮🚮🚮
Fuck the police
results of this government of crooks
They are actually the most abusive of the pack simply because they know nothing will happen to them.
It's about time Bheki Cele too be investigated 😡 oke is turning a blind eye to so many pressing issues.

Late
Put a bullet in Bheki before it's too pate
itsjustmegz_ These are the people you want women to report to.
This is more or less what Nigerians are currently on the streets about but over here the extent of brutality is downplayed because it's black women in the receiving end. EndSAPS
no wonder the police are doing nothing about GBV, because they partake in it.
OdirileSOuL I stopped having faith in the police when one shot his colleague(dead)(unintentionally)during a shootout with thugs.. USELESS
The same people we trusting to fight GBV are the perpetrators. We screwed
These people became police officers because they wanted a salary every month end not because they wanted to serve and protect.
Hectic
Ingathi women in this country could down tools for a day and protest. But I know they'd fire bullets and teargas, and life would go on like nothing happened
marinavanzyl What is your solution?
If you'd take it further and check how many of them killed themselves and their spouses,you'd be shocked.
Yooooo
Members in blue have anger issues and mental health challenges. What we need to ask the minister is how consistently do they take each police offer for therapy. I am of the view that officers must go on therapy, paid by taxpayers, every month. Ba Traums o officer
akreana_ They should be arrested and sentenced for a long time 🚮
Siya_Misa Kuyanyiwa
Nepotism and corruption failed us all as a country.
PresidencyZA your job to govern and protect, yes?
Nothing odd here. It's just a reflection of the society we're living in. The violence around here is outrageous
Consequences of recruiting based on connection and bribes.. qualified and honest individuals are never considered
The Black Chuck Norris 😅😅
Same as heists. In most heists there's a police involved. Is there proper screening done or these police just change wh3n they are emplyed? Many of them see wearing blue as power to do evil deeds. Some join police force to be feared.
Get rid of the idiot Minister and then start cleaning from the top down. Feel sorry for the good cops out there as I am sure there are a few! SAPS is a mess and riddled with criminals!
So it means those that are entrusted with protecting citizens especially the vulnerable women are the ones committing those crimes against them. How will a community trust police when they are also ppl who commit such heinous crimes to ppl who they must protect from those crimes?
Why are they still employed? They are the very ones who tell victims to go fix things with the perpetrators
With our unemployment rate those 139 cops can be replaced overnight
So how can we then expect the police to have sympathy for victims of GBV
SouthAfricansP1 Who said EXCELLENCE?
The SAPS is just a sample. Look within the government and you will be surprised boet.
SouthAfricansP1 Cele, do something!
sbudamusic This explains why they are flat-footed including Cele to deal with gender-based violence crimes, a crime against humanity.
leahmolatseli What?
This is what happens when you hire any Tom, Dick and Harry to be a policeman. Matriculants with no real life experience nor basic psychology/law training/degree are our public 'protectors '. Hell, even their basic training is subpar for people that handle guns and the law.
South Africa is a crime scene!
Now I'm interested on the vetting process of the police officers.
ntsikimazwai That's not a true reflection and accurate stats. The numbers are way too high for them...
ntsikimazwai I’m not surprised
This proves that police officers are human beings just like the rest of us not Robocops
Cele & Mbalula still have portfolios, even today when the evidence is soo clear.
139 police officers from only 13 police stations have cases against them on Woman abuse. That's like almost 11 police officers per police station. How do we expect them to arrest women murderers, women abusers and rapists! They are their buddies moos!!
I feel like we need to really strike as SAns, especially us women, tweeting about it and not physically taking action doesn't seem to be taken seriously by oir government. We need to stop living in fear.
☹💔 The system we chose💔
JayFromVenda I really hate how the media paints Bheki Cele , the headline could’ve Said ....”Says Police Minister “ At the end No one wants to admit that he’s a strong leader and best suited to lead police he’s been cleaning up since he got there
Yoh
The Swamp Has To Be Drained, Now! No Time Wasting!
JustineLimLaw
I must be a headache for Cele...
What are we meant to do with this information when nothing is being done to deal with the criminals?
This doesnt surprise me how many cops have we seen over the years killing their spouses or attempting to
tshepome2 ANC Cadres?
Lord!! They will never take it seriously 😐
So Celes job is just to appear on these articles
Fire them, lock them up and throw away the key.
Yoh
Lion_For_Truth It seems very clear Cele and his troops are the biggest thugs to the safety of South Africa!!!
The police force is the same as every other institution under the incompetent ANC... fucked
😲😲😲😲😲😲😲
To protect & to serve... but they go n do the opposite
How will they deal with GBV then when they themselves are part of the problem.
Tjhooooo.
How then crime is supposed to be stopped when those entrusted with stopping it are doing it 🤷🏽♂️I’ll listen on the radio
