And experts say bringing down South Africa's murder rate will require a significant effort from the police and local governments.

The list was assembled by the Mexican Council for Public Security and Criminal Justice. It compared cities that have populations larger than 300 000 and available murder statistics, and calculated the murder rate by the number of murders per 100 000 people for the period 2021/2022.Subscribe to News24 for just R75 per month to read all our investigative and in-depth journalism.

Who is responsible for this does not know mafeteng Lesotho

A well know Soweto doctor was murdered in his practice brode day light. RIP De Koboka sad. 🙏😭

Great experts. Ever heard of Gini coefficient?

Oh Ppl will need to change the way they deal with problems Killing is not the solution. Not sure where the government fit in here cos the government is not the perpetrator with murder weapon

Bring back the Death Penalty... Wokeness doesn't work.

The supposed golden city

Really sad…instead Cape Town should be renowned rather as the “most beautiful place on earth”

Julius_S_Malema Look Julius retweeted yet hes the one bringing murderers into the country

Eish its a sad one, you don't need a reason in these Cape Town townships to die, black people kill each other so are the colored people especially those who are gangsters...its very sad to see.

With the Police Force run by total incompetents and very badly trained and largely unintelligent police officers, reduction in crime is not likely to happen

Julius_S_Malema So it doesn't require removal of foreign waitresses and petrol attendants? 🥱🥱. I thought if we remove all black African foreigners our problems will be solved, but again I remembered that Chris was killed by a European immigrant from Poland. Guptas were immigrants from India

One thing that encourages crime is the law itself, you kill a person and tomorrow you will be roaming around in the streets, and of course the victims life will be in danger.

If “they” were experts, we wouldn’t be in this situation. Blame the “experts” for a change…the government uses them all the time.

They must release the Sandton numbers compared to SOWETO so we can see if you are affected like the rest of us. FreeNhlanhlaLux

Julius_S_Malema First thing first! is makwerekwere must go as a matter of urgency

It’s pointless saying it’s Foreigner’s etc etc etc … The reality is, there is a totally inadequate number of law enforcement, totally inadequate training, totally inadequate Remuneration. We need a highly skilled Police Force to fight crime, as opposed to a bunch of wannabes.

You wont admit it but u know its bcos of the visitors who decided to illegally stay here that we r now deemed as violent otherwise we used to be the best in everything until the u know whom came

edmnangagwa your hungry people are destroying our country and CyrilRamaphosa he's busy pleasing everyone, Sello is taking drug money from Nigerians and Somalians

Foreigners messed up our country. Supposed to be more than 10 but MYANC and Foreigners turned our country into some refugee camp😏😒

No use South Africans complaining. They created this problem at the polls

Everything is under control, ANC leads

Julius_S_Malema Media will blame Julius Malema

Is this isolated to the slums or does this cover the whole of CT?

By who? From where? We are tired of being ranked by colonizers... Wait for us we will tell u of what we think

What do you expect in a country where there's more than 10 million illegal immigrants.

You see..

A reflection of their citizens not of the government!!!!

Do a simple google search - and discover the new SA- lol

Bluehawktactic1 Are Russian & Ukrainian cities included there?

The only effort government needs is to end this social living difference. There's no sanity where other families live emikhukhwini on less than R1000 per month with sometimes no municipal services while others are living in formal houses. Create a system to spread the economy.

The lowest unemployment rate in South Africa. 👍 Because in Cape Town everyone walks around with a screw driver in his pocket.

PresidencyZA CyrilRamaphosa, and you don't believe that we have a challenge nationally within SAPS? VoetsekANC TimeForChange

Proudly brought to you by the ANC

Im a former carpenter I got retrenched in 2020. Im struggling to find employment. My children often cry themselves to sleep because they sleep hungry😭. I don't feel like a man because of that💔. I ask for any food nearing their expiry date🙏🏻

DA won't be happy about this Facts 😂😂😂😂😂

COVID-19 in SA | Two years since SA was placed on lockdownToday marks exactly two years since South Africa entered into Level 5 lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic. It also marks two years since the media acquiesced to the 'it's the science' narrative and ably assisted the state to lock us down, eliminate jobs and hammer small businesses into extinction. History will not be kind to you for this. It also marks the death of eNCA journalism
