The National Forensic DNA Database of South Africa (NFDD) is a national DNA database used in law enforcement in South Africa. The Criminal Law (Forensic Procedures) Amendment Act No. 37 of 2013 (the "DNA Act") provides for the expansion and administration of such a database in South Africa, enabling the South African Police Service (SAPS) to match forensic DNA profiles derived from samples collected at crime scenes with forensic DNA profiles of offenders convicted of, and suspects arrested for, offences listed in a new Schedule 8 of the amended Criminal Procedure Act of 1977.

quote
  • DNA should be the first thing any detective thinks about. There is always a possibility that the suspect has been injured, that urine and spit could be at the scene. It's vital to secure that evidence. The first thing I would do is cordon off a crime scene and get forensics in. Nobody must be allowed onto that crime scene. It is better than fingerprints. With DNA, there is no doubt. I believe this bill is fantastic. They must have the DNA profile of every person who has been arrested. This could have prevented more people from being murdered. (en)
  • When the Bill is actually promulgated, only then will I breathe a transitory sigh of relief, because that will be when the real work begins. While the law may look good on paper, my mission is and has always been to see it translate into actual crime deterrence and reduction. Only when I see its effective implementation will I honestly say that we, as a team, have made a difference. (en)
