The South African Police Service (SAPS) has presented the country’s latest crime statistics, covering the first quarter of the 2022/23 financial year, April to June 2022.

Presenting the stats on Friday police minister Bheki Cele noted that the crime stats for April to June 2022 are being compared to the same period in 2021 when the country was still in lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

“The first quarter of 2022/2023 financial year shows decreases in total sexual offences such as rape, sexual assault, attempted sexual offences and contact sexual offences. It is on this that score the SAPS will continue to prioritize gender-based violence-related crimes,” he said. “While the majority of rapes do take place behind closed doors and are hard to police, we are confident that it is through the FCS detective work that is preventing more rapes, hence the decrease in rape cases during the reporting period.”As many as 6,424 people were murdered in South Africa in the first quarter of the 2022/2023 financial year – an increase of 664 from the same period last year, when the country was placed under Covid-19 Lockdown level one and two.
