Government is expecting a report about the re-introduction of the sexual offences court.

Minister Jeff Radebe said the report will be handed over to government in August.

Radebe says 62 courts that are operating on a pilot basis have proven to be very effective.

The Minister added that government is concerned about the increase in rape case.

A task team has now been set up to look at the possibility of reintroducing the dedicated sexual offences courts.
