    The Democratic Alliance (DA) has sounded the alarm over what it calls an unsustainable crisis within the South African Police Service (SAPS) in the Western Cape.

    A recent provincial parliament reply revealed that detectives in the province are managing an average of 111 dockets each—almost double the best-practice benchmark of 60.

    The DA warned that this overwhelming workload severely undermines detectives’ ability to investigate cases thoroughly and deliver justice.

    Some Detectives Managing Over 200 Cases Each

    According to the DA’s Benedicta van Minnen, the situation is even more dire in certain areas. Fourteen police precincts in the province reportedly have detectives burdened with 200 or more dockets each.

    She described this as a major threat to community safety, stressing that detectives are being stretched far beyond their capacity to deliver meaningful results.

    Van Minnen did not mince her words about SAPS management’s role in the crisis:

    “The SAPS management is setting detectives up for failure by overloading them with impossible caseloads.

    “A detective who is expected to manage over 100 dockets cannot deliver quality investigations that lead to successful prosecutions. This directly undermines justice for victims and emboldens criminals.”

    The DA has called for urgent intervention to address the detective workload crisis, warning that without immediate change, both justice and community safety remain at risk.
