Minister Senzo Mchunu says criminals must face civil claims after they are convicted and sentenced.

Mchunu spoke to the SABC on the side lines of the SAPS annual Commemoration to honour the 39 women and men in blue who died in the line of duty between April 2023 and March 2024.

“We will then advise and encourage families to pursue civil claims. Now, I don’t want to entertain that criminal would be poor or what. We will cross that bridge when we get there. But we will seek to find anything that we can get and lay our hands through the family.”Mchunu further adds that the department is prioritising having a Victim Friendly Room at all police stations.

Up to 116 of the police stations make use of alternative rooms, while the remaining four, while established physically, are still in the process of being fully operationalised.
