THIS IS A CALL to @CyrilRamaphosa to set the DNA Act Operation date! It's time to reform the criminal justice system and keep violent offenders accountable. https://t.co/nCf4xSQpwC #COBill #DNAAct @mbalipfeiffer @ActionSocietySA @womenforchange5 @sawomenfb1 @PresidencyZA
Unfortunately, the unnecessary delays in passing the #COBill & getting the DNA database populated with convicted offender samples, means there are thousands of perpetrators out there who's repeat crimes cannot be traced. https://t.co/IJx5oCv08w

Blaming government for GBV a ‘convenient’ narrative, says dept  whilst the police were working on addressing the backlog on DNA sample processing to finalise rape cases, they were concerned that this allowed perpetrators to walk free. #COBill

“The release of prisoners back into society prior to a search of their profile on the national #DNAdatabase misses the opportunity to identify a serial rapist & provides an opportunity to reoffend without detection” Dr Vanessa Lynch #COBill @firstforwomen https://t.co/Uc9l8GPFen
Sign the CO Bill into law, @CyrilRamaphosa @PresidencyZA so we can reduce recidivism rates. #COBill #DNAdatabase
Here's why we need to pass the Convicted Offenders Bill: 'Ekurhuleni serial rapist' pleads guilty to 148 charges, including 93 rape cases of girls aged between 12 and 20.

#DNAevidence has led to the conviction of a violent offender, found guilty on 21 of 25 remaining charges, the majority of offences committed after his release on parole in 2016. Had his DNA details been on the criminal database, there would not have been so many victims. #COBill
WATCH LIVE NOW | Portfolio Committee on Police, 19 October 2022. On the Agenda: Consideration of the 2021/22 Annual Report of the DNA Oversight Board. #DNAboard #COBill #DNAbacklog https://t.co/0Gtc1ls9FT
@ParliamentofRSA @SAPoliceService
In Parliament today: 25k plus submissions have been received from @DearSA_national regarding the COBill - it now needs to go to the President to be signed into law and then be implemented. @ParliamentofRSA @SAPoliceService #COBill
READ | Our response to the @AmnestySAfrica open letter to @SAPoliceService Minister Bheki Cele to clear the backlog urgently: https://t.co/BamAdg86JQ @ActionSocietySA @CyrilRamaphosa @PresidencyZA #justice #GBVF #DNAbacklog #DNAdatabase #COBill
The #COBill has been approved by Parliament & is now waiting to be signed into law by @CyrilRamaphosa @PresidencyZA. This will make DNA sampling of violent offenders for addition into the criminal database mandatory. #DNAforjustice @PMG_SA @ActionSocietySA

Security and Justice Committee has adopted the DNA Bill - There is still urgency but we are one step closer to having the bill passed by NCOP and signed by @CyrilRamaphosa if no further amendments. Pass the #CObill #DNAforjustice @ActionSocietySA https://t.co/5VOnflreCp
Today is the 3rd anniversary of the tragic death of Uyinene Mrwetyana, 19. In the wake of this, @CyrilRamaphosa announced a reform plan including harsher punishments for offenders. We are waiting: Pass the #COBill and reduce the #DNAbacklog #GBVF #totalshutdown @HerCampusUCT
Since the creation of the NFDD in 2015, the #COBill Amendment Act introduced in 2017 is still not finalised and awaits the president’s signature. 96 785 violent crime offenders have been released on parole since 2016 without submitting a #DNAsample.

[1/3] “It is outrageous that the Minister of Police, Bheki Cele, now suddenly sees the urgency of the implementation of the DNA Bill when he was directly involved with its delay,” said @IanCameron23, director of community safety at Action Society.
