A shocking report has revealed how large numbers of policemen in South Africa are ‘regularly’ arresting young women in order to rape them.
The ‘Broken Blue Line’ conducted by the Johannesburg-based Institute of Race Relations, investigated the extent in which police officers in the country plan and execute serious and violent crimes such as murder, rape, and armed robbery.
And it drew a disturbing conclusion: that police involvement in serious and violent crimes, including rape and murder, were a ‘pattern of behaviour’ and not isolated incidents.
The report, funded by Afriforum, analysed 100 randomly chosen media reports from April 2011 to January 2015 on alleged police involvement in serious crimes.
Of those, 32 were murders and attempted murders, 22 were armed robberies, and 26 were rapes, as well as other serious offences.
