Experts slam reckless call to give unclaimed cars to Saps

Criminology professor Witness Maluleke has raised alarms about a dangerous proposal to give unclaimed impounded cars to the South African Police Service (SAPS). He highlights the potential for civil claims against the state if owners aren't found or properly compensated. This move, if enacted, could lead to costly legal battles and undermine public trust in the justice system. The debate underscores the need for careful consideration of how unclaimed property is handled to avoid future complications.
