Research by Institute for Security Studies, Interpol and international think tank Global Initiative Against Transnational Organised Crime shows that SA ranks as Africa's 10th most vulnerable country when it comes to organised crime gangs.SA has the dubious honour of being ranked Africa’s 10th most vulnerable country to organised crime, with mafias, arms smugglers, human traffickers and drug dealers running riot, according to a global crime index.
The Central African region registered the largest rise in criminality, with East Africa the continent’s region where organised crime is the most prevalent. There were only a few resilience improvements, in terms of social protection measures, which relate to non-hard security measures. Other than this improvement the rest is not good news at all.While researchers said the ongoing strengthening of SA’s criminal justice system ensured the country ranked number two in terms of resilience to organised crime, overall SA obtained a score of 6.63.
“What is both disturbing and surprising is that two years after the first index,there are increases in terms of countries’ vulnerabilities to organised crime. The increases have been across almost all the fields of organised crime. “From the last study we were expecting big improvements in SA’s resilience to organised crime, which simply did not come. SA now ranks 10 on the continent when it comes to organised criminality vulnerabilities, which is very concerning as this fuels crimes such as corruption.

Africa must unite and do away with borders: Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta in PretoriaIf Africa wants to be a manufacturing giant, it needs to do away with borders. This was the view of Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta on Tuesday afternoon while on a state visit to SA. Africa's problem is that they cannot work together. From my ancestors to modern day... We are addicted to tribalism and corruption. It's dope but in a bad way... Doing away with borders, without any rules in place, will result in tears. A relationship without any rules will always result in pain. Rising crime, drug and human trafficking, illegal manufacturing of cigarettes and foodstuffs - a borderless country with a weak state is chaos. So you can come and steal from the entire continent? 👀 🤔
