Two sides of the same South African Police Service

There are honest and hardworking policemen like Piet Beyleveld, the highly respected detective who rose to fame with his successful investigations, notably of serial killings.

There are, however, murder cases that not only go unsolved, but very often are never investigated in the first place. When the well-known historian David Rattray was murdered in 2007, in Rorke's Drift, KwaZulu-Natal, his murderers were arrested within four days of the murder.
