Statutory rape is not a minor offence. It is a serious crime against children, and the criminal justice system cannot keep failing them through delays, poor reporting, weak investigations and case withdrawals.

The Portfolio Committee on Police has raised serious concern about ongoing DNA analysis delays at the SAPS Forensic Science Laboratory, especially in statutory rape cases.

This is not an administrative problem. It affects whether child victims get justice, whether perpetrators are held accountable, and whether vulnerable children are properly protected.

The Committee was told that 1,853 statutory rape cases were withdrawn between 2020/21 and 2024/25. That number should concern every South African.

We also remain concerned about the shortage of detectives in FCS units, the lack of proper tools of trade, gaps in forensic kit availability, and the absence of a clear dedicated policy framework for policing and combating statutory rape.

The law is clear, but implementation is failing too many victims.

SAPS, the Forensic Science Laboratory and the Civilian Secretariat for Police Service must now account for what is being done to fix the delays, strengthen FCS capacity, improve reporting, and stop the withdrawal of cases where proper procedures are not followed.

Protecting children, supporting victims and holding perpetrators accountable cannot be treated as optional.

The Committee will continue to exercise oversight and request clear answers, timelines and measurable action.

A family is appealing to the public for assistance in locating Advocate Akani Cyril Shikwambana, who has been missing since 6 May 2021.

According to the family, his last known location was Wolmansdal in Hammanskraal before he disappeared. Loved ones say they are deeply concerned for his safety and continue to search for answers regarding his whereabouts.

Anyone with information that may assist in locating him is urged to come forward and contact the family or nearest police station. 💔

[Ian Cameron @IanCameron23]

Today I conducted several surprise oversight visits in the Western Cape.

The point of these visits is simple, to test the real conditions under which police officers are expected to serve, not only what appears in official presentations.

What I saw again is that many police officers are doing serious, difficult and often dangerous work with far too little support. That must be said clearly. The problem is not the commitment of the cops on the ground. The problem is a system that too often expects results without providing the people, vehicles, facilities, equipment and basic support required to do the job properly.

At Khayelitsha FCS, the unit is dealing with some of the most sensitive crimes in the criminal justice system, including sexual offences, child victims and family violence. The reported ideal staffing level is about 43 personnel. The current number is about 21.

That means a specialist unit dealing with deeply traumatic cases is reportedly about 22 people short.

This is not an administrative issue. Every shortage affects victims, investigations, court preparation, forensic follow-up and the ability of detectives to give proper attention to each case. FCS work cannot be reduced to moving dockets. It involves children, families, trauma, dignity and justice.

At the FCS unit serving Kuils River, Kleinvlei, Mfuleni and Mfuleni Satellite, the same pattern emerged. The unit reportedly has only about seven to eight investigators and one administrative clerk, while receiving around 40 dockets per month.

The D1 and D7 rape-kit stock was reported as sufficient at the time of the visit. That is important. The immediate problem there is not current rape-kit stock. The urgent pressure is too few investigators, too little administrative support and inadequate victim-friendly office space.

Victim-friendly facilities are not a luxury. They are part of proper policing. A child victim or rape survivor should not be failed by an office environment that is not designed for trauma-sensitive work.

At Khayelitsha SAPS, the vehicle situation is deeply concerning. The station recorded 38 vehicles, but 15 were at garages. That means almost 40% of the fleet was unavailable.

This affects visible policing, complaint response, scene attendance, hotspot policing and detective work. Some vehicles have reportedly been stuck for long periods, including detective vehicles delayed for 88 and 121 days.

A police station cannot properly serve a high-demand community if so many vehicles are unavailable. A vehicle in a garage is not a vehicle serving the public. SAPS must explain the repair delays, garage bottlenecks and fleet management failures.

At TRT, the concern is structural and operational. These are police officers expected to perform high-risk specialist policing, yet there are serious concerns about structural certainty, vehicles, ICT, accommodation, equipment and deployment governance.

Specialist policing cannot run on goodwill alone. If SAPS expects tactical units to confront gangs, violent criminals and high-risk threats, then those units must be properly formalised, properly equipped, properly housed and properly supported.

Across all the visits, the pattern is clear:

Police officers are doing too much with too little.

FCS units are under-resourced while dealing with some of the most vulnerable victims.

Vehicle shortages are weakening visible policing and investigations.

Victim-friendly infrastructure is still not where it should be.

Specialist units are being expected to deliver without the full structural and logistical support they need.

SAPS must now provide formal written answers and time-bound corrective plans.

Oversight is not about attacking frontline police officers. It is about making sure the system gives them what they need to serve communities properly.

Citizens deserve effective policing. Victims deserve dignity and justice. Police officers deserve the tools and support to do the job.
