South Africa ranks 118 out of 163 in the 2022 Global Peace Index: It is a marginal improvement, according to the study, but while the country is progressively more peaceful, it is tarnished with violent outbreaks of crime and protests

South Africa has been ranked 118 out of 163 countries in the 2022 Global Peace Index , its best rating in 14 years, despite last year’s violent and prolonged July riots, which led to the deaths of more than 300 people. In 2020 and 2021, South Africa ranked 123 on the overall index. The country is viewed by the researchers as progressively peaceful, despite being punctured by violence.

Somalia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Sudan were ranked the least peaceful in the region, with their overall scores being 156, 158 and 159 respectively. The think-tank also noted that political instability had deteriorated, “with 51 countries recording a fall in peacefulness in this indicator while only 26 improved in the past year. This indicator is now at its worst level since 2008”.

“The Russia and Eurasia region experienced the largest deterioration in peacefulness in the world in 2022, and remained the fourth least peaceful region for the third year. The region’s GPI score deteriorated sharply in 2022, following three consecutive years of improvements. The second domain “evaluates the level of harmony or discord within a nation; eleven indicators broadly assess what might be described as societal safety and security”.
