Crime stats reveal KZN among top crime spots in South Africa
How scary is that?
There's not much left to the imagination when it comes to crime in our country.
For the most part, we can say that criminals are becoming more and more ballsy with their attempts at crime.
According to the Head of Police Crime Research and Statistics, Lieutenant-General Norman Sekhukhune, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, and Western Cape are the leaders when it comes to the number of serious and violent crimes.
"By the time of the stats release, Thembisa on Gauteng’s East and, was sitting at number four (with 927 cases) with Durban central (927) followed by Plessislaer (892), and Inanda (882 cases), all in KwaZulu-Natal." (IOL)
Not ideal considering that these stats were less last year.
The nature of the crimes has just been described as serious and violent but no indicator as to the crimes themselves.
In one way it could be that perhaps more people are reporting crimes this year in comparison to previously, which could be considered a positive.
But there is no record of this information from the research we have come across.
