South Africa: Lack of Forensic Resources Denying Justice

press release

The DA has been informed that an elderly woman's murder case has been delayed for six months due to a lack of forensic resources. This raises serious questions as to how many other cases are being delayed and victims denied justice due to SAPS supply chain mismanagement.

Today, the Office of the National Police Commissioner welcomed anyone to visit their state-of-the-art forensic laboratories. The DA will take them up on this offer and see for ourselves whether allegations of a lack of resources and qualified staff are true.
