The National Prosecution Authority (NPA) in Limpopo says it is stepping up the fight against the scourge of financial crimes, sexual offences, murder and human trafficking in the province.

Limpopo has some of the highest rates of sexual crimes and gender-based violence incidents. The province is also currently grappling with illegal mining and drug trafficking. The NPA was briefing the media on the progress in the prosecution of major cases in Polokwane.

“You find at the back yard of someone’s house people are busy digging. You go on the top of the mountain at some point, we found ten excavators digging for chrome, that’s the kind of illegal mining we are talking about. The seriousness of it is they are digging at the mines but they are starting their own little mines,” says Advocate Talane Mashalane, Head of Limpopo Asset Forfeiture Unit.

“There is a matter where Ethiopians were being smuggled at the Beit bridge border and already 30 of them being found hidden in a place belonging to the accused who is a Zimbabwean national,” says senior prosecutor at Limpopo High Court Advocate Lethabo Mashiane.
