Violent crime against women remains high: Cele

Police Minister, General Bheki Cele, says violent crimes against women and children remain high in the country. Cele presented the quarterly crime statistics in Pretoria.

This reflects on crimes reported to the South African Police Services from 1st of July to 30 September 2022. Violence has also come at a cost for the police with 22 of their colleagues having lost their lives during this period.

The crime figures are compared to the same period in 2021, when the country was still under Lockdown due to the outbreak of COVID-19.
