Nearly 97 000 convicted schedule 8 offenders’ DNA was not sampled and therefore not added to the National Forensic DNA Database of Convicted Offenders before they were paroled. DNA SAPS
Cape Town – Convicted murderers and rapists are free to continue their terror sprees safe in the knowledge that the DNA they might inadvertently leave at crime scenes will not be traced back to them or their last crimes.
Whitfield blamed this sad state of affairs on Ministers of Police Bheki Cele and his Home Affairs counterpart, Dr Aaron Motsoaledi, having a ’’highly unconstitutional pipe dream of a national DNA population database’’. ’’The problem started when the transitional provision of the Criminal Law Amendment Act No 37 of 2013, expired in 2017. This provision placed the responsibility of collecting the DNA samples of schedule 8 offenders in the hands of SAPS.
’’The sole reason this Bill has not been passed into law is that the ministers of Police, Bheki Cele, and Home Affairs, Dr Aaron Motsoaledi, have a highly unconstitutional pipe dream of a national DNA population database.
