South African Police Service

The Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences unit (FCS) unit in the Eastern Cape are leaving no stone unturned in ensuring that sexual offenders get their day in court and face the might of the law for their cruel deeds.

The time and quality of detective work and time invested is yielding positive results.

Since the beginning of April 2018, 6 life sentences and 122 years of combined sentences were imposed for rape, attempted murder and robbery at various courts across the Eastern Cape Province.

Eastern Cape Provincial Commissioner, Lt-Gen Liziwe Ntshinga welcomed the convictions and said: “Although we cannot turn back the hands of time, we will continue to ensure that justice is served. The sentences serves as a message to other perpetrators or would be offenders that our officers will not halt until these ruthless sadists feel the full might of the law.”
