The Acting Minister of Police, Mr Firoz Cachalia, wishes to reassure all South Africans that there is no shortage of adult or child rape evidence collection kits across the country.
Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF) remains one of South Africa’s most pressing national challenges, and the South African Police Service remains unwavering in its commitment to ensuring that every victim of sexual violence is treated with dignity, compassion and urgency. Rape evidence collection kits form a critical component of the criminal justice process, enabling the collection of forensic evidence that strengthens investigations and assists in holding perpetrators accountable before our courts.
Rape evidence collection kits are available throughout the country, and additional kits are currently being distributed as part of ongoing procurement and replenishment processes. These deliveries are proceeding as planned to ensure that facilities remain adequately stocked and that services to victims are not interrupted.
