I want to ask the hon Minister ... part of the crime situation in South Africa is the criminal justice system. We know, according to statistics, only about 20% of all cases reported to the police goes to our courts, because each and every case must be investigated by our detectives.
Now, why is it that R764 000 429 has been taken away from the detective service, where we have a shortage of people to properly investigate the cases reported to the police? Thank you.
Deputy Speaker, I think the first and the last question are related. By the ACDP and the hon member ... Indeed, that cannot be allowed to continue. It has happened. But for that reason it's the same reason that that will be and should be corrected in terms of the detectives.
