The DA says it is greatly concerned with the increase of crime in South Africa.

This reaction is due to the 2014/2015 statistic that were released on Tuesday by Minister of Police Nathi Nhleko.

The political party is most concerned with the murder rate.

The murder rate went up for the third consecutive year.

They claim that this is due to National Police Riah Phiyega.

DA MP Dianne Kohler Barnard explained that to this end South Africa needs effective leadership of the SAPS.

National government has failed police officers and citizens alike.

“Nowhere is this clearer than in the actions of police Minister Nathi Nhleko who is more preoccupied with exonerating President Jacob Zuma in the Nkandla scandal and of National Police Commissioner Riah Phiyega, who is now the subject of an inquiry, for her conduct contributing to the Marikana Massacre.”

Our SAPS remains politically and operationally rudderless and countless South Africans lives are at stake Kohler concluded.
