If South Africa had a military, I would say they should disband the SAPS in the Eastern Cape and leave them all unemployed and deploy the military in full force against criminals.

How many other victims of violence and rape will be put off by the police also being opportunist rapists.

In fact the police benefit from raping people who come to report crimes as it reduces the rapes statistics reported yearly. They will get a pat on the back for reducing it. That is a sick thought.

Makes me sick to know that he will get a slap on the wrist and then transferred to a better position/station.

Maybe you enjoy being sick? Because a rape conviction usually comes with a sanction that is way more than a slap on the wrist.

But I would be interested to hear of any cases where the offender, especially a police officer gets away with a slap on the wrist and being transferred, maybe you are basing your assertion on something more than just being a soothsayer.

the military is not some innocent, uprighteous, honourable institution, they are not much different than police

What's the military going to do? Turn up in Ratels, leopard crawl across your lawn and use a Meerskoot to drop a 40mm grenade into the neighbour's yard to flush out hiding criminals?

Jesus, victims of abuse are already reluctant to report it to the police...

Hopefully, this POS cop gets a higher sentence in aggravation for abusing his position.

Previously you were harping about innocent until proven guilty and law will take its course. SA does have strict laws but the implementation of those laws is bad. We just saw it recently with Cele statement saying if you are raped by one consider yourself lucky.

There are so many people in the chain of government that is required to be diligent in their jobs for a person to go to jail. The social workers, police, evidence gathering and storage, investigating officer, the forensics, the prosecutor. Even in rape cases where you have the witness statement they are more likely to never get their day in court.

This is old. Stats have gotten worse

Rape Attrition Study - Wits University

www.wits.ac.za

According to the Medical Research Council (MRC) 1 in 9 women who experience rape in South Africa report the crime to the police. In their 2008 publication 'Tracking Justice: The Attrition of Rape Cases through the Criminal Justice System in Gauteng' the MRC finds that only 50.5% of the 2064 cases of rape examined in the study resulted in an arrest. Only 42.8% of those arrested were charged in court and trials commenced in less than one in five of the cases. The conviction rate was at 6.2% - equivalent to 1 in 20 cases.

One ****ing percent. That's it. That was back in 2008. Things have deteriorated since then.

But I would be interested to hear of any cases where the offender, especially a police officer gets away with a slap on the wrist and being transferred, maybe you are basing your assertion on something more than just being a soothsayer.

You want a case. How about this fine gentleman?

WTF is wrong with this society...WTF?

If something happens so often people become desensitized to it. Hence why the community is not storming that police station and the TV stations not covering it. It is yet another rape

Look how without emotion our police minister talks about the most gruesome gang rapes

If something happens all the time people stop caring.

Same thing happened with Covid. We became desensitized. How many people died of Covid in SA alone. Over 100K. Yet we won't have anniversary even or hold candles. People stop caring because if you do you will talk about it all the time.

Cele is a piece of sh|t, nothing more.
Just like the cANCer in general
SAP seems to have a large number of degenerates and criminal scum in the ranks. Pity it cancels out the good cops who actually take their jobs seriously.

"One woman was raped by 10 men...not 10 times." <-- does he not get it that it's exactly the same thing? Honestly the world must look down their noses at us in this country.

I still say that when people in a certain field has been found guilty in that specific area, his sentence should be harsher. If someone in the police is found guilty of theft, rape, assault etc., that person should get the maximum prescribed sentence + 50%. Same goes if e.g. a lawyer commits fraud or any other "white collar crime" etc., same harsher sentence.
