Murder, rape, assault and other serious crimes decrease during lockdown: Bheki Cele

This was partly because of the prohibition of the sale of liquor during the 21-day lockdown that started last Friday.

“Murder cases dropped from 326 to 94; rape cases dropped from 699 to 101; cases of assault with intent to inflict grievous bodily harm dropped from 2,673 to 456; and trio crimes dropped from 8,853 to 2,098,” Cele said in a statement.But gender-based violence complaints remained high. “Over 2,300 calls/complaints have been registered since the beginning of the lockdown on March 27 2020 until March 31 2020 and from these, 148 suspects were charged.

“The figure in relation to calls/complaints between January 2020 and March 31 2020 stands at 15,924. Once all reports have been consolidated, the figures will be measured against the number of calls/complaints received through the GBV Command Centre in 2019, where the figure stands at 87,920,” he said.

Did they decrease or people are unable to report since your police beat people up in their homes imagine what they do if they find someone outside🤦🏽‍♂️

This guy is not on.stew pit.

The lesson is that SAPS will only reduce/deal decisively with crime only with the help of SANDF.

But the 14 years girl was rape where was the police

Don't change tarven time after lock down you must have learned a good lesson, let them close at 6 pm for now onwards.

So according to the Minister alcohol results in high murder and rape cases 🤔

Really. How many people do you think can slip away during a lockdown to a safe place, the police station or even just to make a phone call. Mr Cele has obviously no clue how people who are abused are manipulated or threatened! Ignorance is bliss - gives this man a cigarette

It's a lie GBV increased

Salute to SA Army, SAPS, traffic Officer all the law enforcement officials for your availability... people are really afraid of you in visibility✊

damn, so people rape errrday?

Don't worry Mr Cele Evin gangs are scared of doing anything they lock them selves at home.
