Police Minister Bheki Cele says the DNA tests of the eight women raped at a mine dump on the West Rand recently, will be prioritised. He was taking part in a ministerial briefing session in the National Council of Provinces (NCOP).

The issue of illegal mining has again been thrust into the spotlight after theThe backlog runs into thousands.

It has resulted in victims of gender based crimes to wait at least two years for their cases to make it to court.But Cele told MPs that more than 12 000 cases have been prioritised, including those of the eight women who were gang raped in Krugersdorp. “We have agreed that they will be prioritised, including cases of eight ladies have been prioritised. We have renewed contracts, we have appointed people [who were] removed from the system and all machines are working,” explains the minister.

Cele says it is untrue that police are reactionary and that a specialised unit has been operating in the Free State since 2019.“We have rescued women who are kept underground as sex slaves. [We have] been cutting supplies like bread and tinned stuff. Police have been underground, making zama zamas to move to other places,” adds Cele.“It’s economic sabotage on our economy. That is why we have always said it is a war that needs a specialised unit to deal with it as such,” says Mantashe.

Politicians don't really get it.We don't want only these prioritised but all rape cases. Police that work on rape and these kits their promotions are capped and they don't have as much resources as their counterparts...we need these looked at and the turnaround of DNA analysis..

They still didn't gave families feedback of 21 youngster's that died wonder how they will handle this

I feel like the process is very nagging... I know something bad is going to happen again to our beloved brothers and sisters. Why so slow in prosecuting them

Prioritized over what? Other rape cases, murders? Aren't they all supposed to be priotized? The hat must prioritize FIXING that which they broke in the first place: forensics and pathology services in SAPS

That it honestly-
