Summary
The Democratic Alliance is suing Acting Police Minister Feroz Cachalia over a critical shortage of rape kits in the Western Cape, threatening survivors’ right to evidence collection by August 1. With only a narrow window before a promised July 24 delivery, SAPS units report zero kits despite procuring 11,000 in April — raising urgent questions about supply chain failures. The DA has also targeted the provincial supply chain head and warns of legal action if the Minister fails to ensure consistent access, stressing that prosecuting perpetrators requires these vital forensic tools.
