According to the 2022 last quarter report, rates for most crime categories, which were already too high, increased in South Africa.
About this issue, Norman Sekhukhune, head of police crime research and statistics, explained that all provinces showed increases in murders except for northern Limpopo province.
Faced with this worrying situation, a clear and broader conversation must be had on what is at the root of violent crime in the country, Cele said.
Cele and his top subordinates are expected to appear before Parliament next week to discuss the country’s crime situation and their plans to fight crime.
