Murders down in festive season, nearly 25,000 drunks taken off the streets

This was revealed by police minister Bheki Cele, who was speaking at the SAPS provincial offices in Durban on Tuesday.

Cele said that despite a reduction in crime countrywide, in which he made specific reference to the Western Cape - which for the first time in five years experienced a reduction in violent crimes over the festive period - KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga were the only two provinces which under-performed.

He attributed the reduction in crime to the decision taken by police management, as early as September, to focus their attention and"hit hard" in areas where alcohol was known to be a common denominator.
