The DA is deeply concerned for all South
Africans who today face massively increased levels of crime. This comes after
the 2013/2014 crime stats released yesterday that violent crimes are on the
increase.
It has been revealed yesterday that the
murder rate has gone up for the second consecutive year. There were 17 068
murders in 2013/14.
DA Media Officer Samkelo Mgobozi said this works out to 47 murders a day. This number of deaths is what one would expect to be reported from a country at war.
Mgobozi said with the requisite time,
effort, resources, and support from the public, the SAPS can begin to make inroads
into stemming the tidal wave of crime in this country.
“But this can only begin once we face up to
the reality of the challenges that we face Mgobozi added.
