He described it as the “harsh realities lying ahead” in that crime statistics this year – which cover the last quarter of the 2020/21 financial year – cannot be expected to yield the same statistics, which were generally lower due to the Covid-19 stringent lockdown restrictions that were put in place last March.Mawela said this was “during the period when the country was under lockdown level 3 and adjusted level 1, as the country continued to respond to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Mawela urged people to understand the anticipated surge in crime levels by reflecting it against the Covid-19 lockdown levels. Meanwhile, the 2020/21 fourth-quarter crime statistics show that crime has generally dropped, with a 14.6% decrease recorded under the category known as community-reported serious crimes. This translated to 16 461 fewer in comparison to the same period last year.
