Show notes

Chairperson of Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on Police, Ian Cameron joins Paul Llewellyn and Gérard Labuschagne to unpack South Africa’s collapsing murder detection system. The discussion explores shocking SAPS detection-rate statistics, overloaded detectives, gang violence, forensic failures, crime intelligence breakdowns, and the growing crisis of public trust in the justice system. The episode also examines the difference between detection, arrest, prosecution and conviction — and what happens to a society when murder stops carrying consequence. 📩 profilerafricainfo@gmail.com🌍 Plotshift Media
