Early Breakfast with Africa Melane

David Klatzow | Private Consulting Forensic Scientist 

As rescue efforts continue at the site of the building collapse in George, the identification process of the deceased faces significant challenges due to the state of decomposition of the bodies. With 27 casualties confirmed and 25 individuals still unaccounted for, families await closure as forensic teams strive to identify the victims.

Speaking to the media, Floyd Herwels, assistant director of the Forensic Pathology Service in George, highlighted the complexities of this process. While visual identification is preferred for speed, bodies in a state of decomposition require scientific methods like fingerprints or DNA analysis.

To shed light on the challenges faced by the forensic team and the factors contributing to the length of this process, we'll be speaking to Dr. David Klatzow, Private Consulting Forensic Scientist.

Brigadier Brenda Muridili | SAPS Gauteng Provincial Head: Corporate Communication and Liaison 

We address a growing concern on our roads – the emergence of 'blue-light gangs', impersonating police officers to prey on unsuspecting motorists.

Joining us now is Brigadier Brenda Muridili, SAPS Gauteng Provincial Head: Corporate Communication and Liaison. Last month's incident, where three alleged criminals were shot dead during a confrontation with police, underscores the severity of this issue.

Renowned criminologist Prof. Kholofelo Rakubu emphasizes the challenge faced by motorists in distinguishing between legitimate officers and impostors, fueling a sense of vulnerability among citizens.

Meanwhile, anti-crime activist Yusuf Abramjee sheds light on the involvement of rogue members within the police force in these criminal activities. Despite some progress in apprehending culprits, the threat persists, with concerns over the accessibility of police equipment to criminals.

As advice to motorists, Abramjee urges caution when approached by individuals purporting to be police officers, advocating for communication of intent to stop at the nearest police or filling station.

These incidents underscore the urgent need for collaborative efforts to combat the proliferation of 'blue-light gangs' and safeguard the well-being of all road users. Stay tuned as we delve deeper into this pressing issue.
