Less booze during lockdown means less violent crime, but GBV calls still pouring in

Cele partly attributed this to the prohibition of the sale and movement of liquor since the start of South Africa’s 21-day national lockdown.

Trio crimes refer to car hijackings, business and house robberies, arguably the most violent crimes, according to Cele, where suspects are usually armed. Currently, from January until the end of March, 15,924 gender-based violence complaints have been received by police. At the time, Cele urged the reinforcement of the family violence, child protection and sexual offences units.
