Police have closed 13,2-million criminal cases without resolution in the past 10 years.
This is according to the ministry of police in a parliamentary response to questions posed by Build One SA BOSA leader Mmusi Maimane, revealing data from 2015 to date and saying some dockets can be reopened if there is new evidence.
The totals should also not be added to conclude that this is the total for 10 years, as dockets are reopened for investigation.
