Agb Speaker ... [Hon Speaker ...]
Hon Minister, last week or the week before we heard that only 52% of criminals are actually detected, and that only about 31% of those people have completed documents or dockets that can be sent to the courts for criminal hearings. I want to ask the hon Minister ...
Agb Minister, siende dat 'n misdadiger basies 'n 85% kans het om weg te kom met misdaad in Suid-Afrika, en dat forensiese toetse 'n kardinale rol speel in die skuldigbevinding van misdadigers, wil ek weet waar op u prioriteitslys u hierdie probleem van die forensiese en biologiese toetse en alles wat daarmee saamgaan, geplaas het. (Translation of Afrikaans paragraph follows.)
[Hon Minister, considering the fact that a criminal basically stands an 85% chance of getting away with crime in South Africa, and considering the important role that forensic tests play in the conviction of criminals, I would like to know where on your list of priorities you have placed this challenge with regard to forensic and biological tests and everything that goes with it.]
Because that is the new buzzword. If we have problems, we say we have challenges. Hon Minister, we have had challenges since 1994, but I don't see those challenges being resolved. Thank you.
