Hon member, you won't see those solutions if you are not in South Africa, if you are elsewhere. In South Africa you will see some of the progress made since 1994. The issue you are raising is a very important one, because you will recall that I have of late been placing emphasis on the need to go beyond apprehending criminals in our country, to also ensuring convictions. This area of the Forensic Science Laboratory is crucial in ensuring that, at the end of the day, we secure convictions.
The reasons for declining prosecutions vary, hon member. In some instances it would be because the police have not done a thorough enough job to ensure that the case is taken up. In other instances, decisions are taken at a prosecution level, which, after being taken, there is nothing that can be done. You can only wish that it continues. Indeed, we are turning the tide, hon member. You also ... no, don't say this; this is not going to help you. You are a witness to the fact that indeed we are turning the tide. Thank you very much. [Applause.]
