Choice of wording is hoshkari.
1. They are not responsible for convictions there is a whole trial process that can be affected by various factors such as witnesses being assassinated and we have already seen that with Armand Swart, with Babita Deokaran and with Mpho Mafole.
2. Do a comparative analysis and share what Th conviction rate is for other divisions or task teams. For instance what is the conviction rate of the team under General Sibiya. The Serious Crimes and Violent offences. 17% for the nature of crimes that they are dealing with seems good.
3. R235 million seems high without context. How many people are on the team. What are the main cost drivers. If we look at the Zondo commission that cost R1 billion but there have been zero convictions from that money. Amapanyanza cost R500 million or so, they bought all those cars and various equipment and they have a conviction rate of zero. So 17% for half the cost of Amapanyaza seems great.
This is coming across as a coordinated attempt to denigrate and demonise the task team and the generals leading it. First it was where is the evidence, then it was Mkhwanazi is attacking the media, now it’s but the team is expensive.
