The backlog in DNA testing in South Africa is being reduced - albeit behind schedule. The SA Police Service missed an October target to clear the backlog of tests. According to the latest update it is around 64000.

In the Western Cape, at the end of August, the backlog was more than 25 000 at the SAPS Forensic Science Laboratory. By the end of November that was reduced to around 15 000.

To discuss we're joined by the Western Cape Provincial MEC of Community Safety and Police Oversight, Reagen Allen.
