@South African, didn't you read above? You want provide stats from the saps web site when we know how useless they are, you really think you can rely on the saps data? Read again: "... South Africa is on the Tier 2 Watch List for a fourth consecutive year for its failure to show increasing efforts to address trafficking; the government provided inadequate data in 2007 on trafficking crimes investigated or prosecuted, or on resulting convictions or sentences; it also did not provide information on its efforts to protect victims of trafficking; the country continues to deport and/or prosecute suspected foreign victims without providing appropriate protective services." Another thing.. Given that the South African minister of crime (cele) himself was charged for fraud etc. It is most likely that he played with the numbers for a salary raise. lol |

Croime statistics between nations aren't reliable. A lot of crime in RSA gets reported, that's why it features highly on many of the lists. Compare that with Columbia which, despite lalwless conditions that make it hard to keep records, tellingly has a higher murder rate - very easily the most reliable crime bencjmark - yet barely any other crime ends up in it's numbers. You'd have to be very gullible to think all of Columbia's violence is organised drug cartel or guerilla activity, there's a large underclass and random street robbery is probably a bigger problem than it is in RSA for example yet it has 1/9 as many reported, it just doesn't end up in the stats. |

It shocks me to learn that people still think that what is happening in SA is acceptable. Wake up to the facts. I stil have family living their and I pray every day that they will survive another day in what I like to call " slow moving civil war" . |

I was 3 years old when we overcame Apartheid, so I don't remember any of it. I know many people who have been affected by crime in some way. And yes, certain things in this country is corrupt. But show me one country that is 100% crime free and 100% non-corrupt. Despite our situation, I love living in South Africa and I think it is the most beautiful country. |

PROUDLY SOUTH AFRICAN 7th February 2011 |
I am a South African and i love my country! In 1994 we overcame Apartheid. In 2010 we became the first African country to host a world cup (during which not a single tourist was harmed despite these statistics). And in 2020 we wish to host the 2020 Olympics. South Africa is coming up in the world It hurts me to see so many South Africans leave. Instead of investing their skills and knowledge in their own country, and bettering their own country, they are choosing to invest it in other countries. How can we, as a Nation, move forward if our own people choose to abandon us? South Africa needs people who want change and who are willing to make that change happen! |

Thank heavens! 16th January 2011 |
It is so wonderful to sleep without any fear, drive to work without any fear, play outdside with your kids without any fear, and plan your future without any fear! Yes, it IS POSSIBLE! We have left with two suitcases each to the USA in 2002. SA is the most beautiful country with generally the most friendly/humble people, BUT nothing can compare to living in a safe place and secure future. GOD BLESS AMERICA, please help South Africa. |

Its a genetic thing. Blacks lack the the presence and distribution of cognitive ability to make a technologically-scientifcally based society work. There are also other characterisitic differences that compromise the ability of indigenous black societies to work. In policing, the societal restraints developed to cope with the characteristics of specific populations. Blacks required more rigid and forceful restraints. The idea that one standard could fit all has resulted in criminal activity running amok. More severe punishments and "unenlightened enforcement," such as amputation of a hand or foot for thievery, works in black dominated societies. Such harshness is not necessary in homogenous white societies. Since uniform police enforcement practices were introduced in the United States, and police became less aggressive in relation to minorities, there has been a huge uptake of violent crime. Reality requires enforcement directed to the nature of the society and groups of people within it, requiring restraint. |

South African 27th November 2010 |
Violdent deaths in South Africa fall in two categories, murders and culpible homicides. Culpable Homicide has been defined simply as "the unlawful negligent killing of a human being", it is a question of intent. http://www.saps.gov.za/statistics/reports/crimestats/2010/categories.htm http://www.saps.gov.za/statistics/reports/crimestats/2010/categories/murder.pdf http://www.saps.gov.za/statistics/reports/crimestats/2010/categories/culpable_homicide.pdf 16,834 murders + 12272 culpable homicide for April to March 2009/2010 is 29106 for the year. 29106/365.25 = 79.7 deaths a day. 68,332 sexual offences - It is an under reported crime and victims sometimes get HIV. 1 in 4 woman have been raped in South Africa, according to some surverys. Google "rape in South Africa". If 683 (1%) of these people who report the crime get HIV, it should also be counted as a violent death. I do not know what the actual infection rate is. 205,293 assaults with the intent to inflict grievous bodily harm. Pasted from the Countries_at_Risk_May_2010.doc http://www.genocidewatch.org/aboutgenocide/countriesatrisk2010.html Countries at Risk of Genocide, Politicide, or Mass Atrocities in 2010: Country:South Africa Threat Level:5-Polarization Victims:Boers/refugees Killers:Black racists The population of South Africa is about 50 million. Prison populations http://www.dcs.gov.za/WebStatistics/inmate-gen.aspx I provide this information for other people looking for answers to similar questions. |

SA-B-GREAT 11th November 2010 |
I woke up this morning in South Africa as I have been doing now for 25 years. I drove my car to work and was not hi-jacked, killed or raped. Worked throughout the day and was never held hostage, drove back home and got there safe and sound, as I have doing for the past 25 years! Bad things happen everywhere in the world, it is individuals who do these things, South Africa and its people as a collective is loving, warm people! As an added bonus, here in South Africa we may NEVER have to worry about Volcanoes, hurricanes and all other natural disasters. LOVE BEING HERE! |

Paddo 11th October 2010 |
I woke up this morning, went for a walk, came back, cooked breakfast, had a shower, got dressed and caught the bus to work. Nothing happened to me. I wasn't ambushed, with someone shoving a gun in my face, I wasn't raped, or robbed or bludgeoned and the bus wasn't hijacked. SA, it appears has gone to the dogs. |

We left southern Africa to live in Australia, We left because we had been car jacked, robbed and shot at a numerous amount of time ... my mother was shot and my best friendssister was raped. Its such a shame . South Africa is such a beautifull country. :( |

PROUD2BSA 3rd August 2010 |
I think, that anyone who left the country- is someone who was too afraid to try and make a difference! South Africa is the best, the film industry is growing, the crime is being controlled and we are continuously showing the world how great we are! BACK OFF! even America has gangs and crimes, australia is now the fattest country and the rest of the world suffers from natural disasters! |

You stats are wrong for South Afriva the deasth penalty doesnt even exist. fin someone else to make look bad. shame on you |
|
Henry 6th July 2010 |
Sadly, South Africans are generally so gullible and naive! Crime in South Africa in the political "Apartheid" era was largely restricted to the informal settlements and designated townships, ie. crimes amongst the black people. Now the barriers containing crime in those traditional areas have been removed and now freely roams the streets anywhere and everywhere. White Caucasian settlements around the world benefit from lower crime rates - FACT! It's a genetic thing, but many would not understand this! |

Gideon Burger 28th June 2010 |
I'm a proud white South African. Please open your eyes and see that there is alot of people trying hard to make this country work. We are hosting a great World Cup and your bitterness is not needed.Yes i have been affected by crime. |

LETS SOLVE IT ALL AND STOP POLICALLY CORRECT. |

Proud SA 22nd May 2010 |
Haha, I love all the idiots who now say it is time to leave SA due to the crime. You obviously thought it was all fine during the apartheid era when crime was covered up by white police, the infrastructure only had to support 5% of the population, and black school kids were shot amd murdered by police. In my estimation, I far prefer SA today than what it was. |

Kakabooi 22nd April 2010 |
Please reconsider your presence at the SWC and tourism in RSA and consider being a victim of ruthless and savage crime. This morning some robber savages beat a one year old girl so badly that she stopped breathing, attacked the babysitter and tied her up. An elderly couple lost their 3rd and last child to crime (shot next to their bed). During the week I read of two farmers which were attacked, one dead and the other wounded badly. a Group of 15 savages beat a 54 man to death while 5 raped his wife repeatedly and beat up their 3 year grand daugter on a small holding close to Polokwane (Pietersburg)... and the list goes on. Confront RSA government officials about their inability to protect the citizens of RSA. Think of your own safety amongst such savagery and rather reconsider if you want to be in RSA at all. Read the local papers on News24 and see 4 yourself. Tell all your loved ones and friends please. |

@siso N: so so typical of YOU to say something like that, I'm glad that to you, +-80 murders a day is an acceptable loss of life, I suppose as long as you get to go to your favourite shabeen after a long week at work (you're probably middle management in some fancy firm, where you've been working at for all of a year, (with none of the experience or credentials needed to fill the post), and then drive home drunk, taking out a family of four on the road, minding their own business, like has just happened to me this past weekend, and then not have the common HUMAN courtesy of stopping but rather speeding off to avoid all consequences of your actions, then all is good in SA and you're a happy guy. 80 murders a day is in no way shape or form an acceptable loss of life, and something drastic needs to happen to stop this mindless, merciless, cold slaughtering of innocents at the hands of soul-less, conscienceless beasts, who often take a life at the cost of a cell phone. The Brits had it right when they got to SA long ago, when they wrote to the Queen to let her in on their findings, they said that the land was good, but that it was inhabited by savages...nothing’s changed. |

You are right not to believe these statistics. The majority of crimes in SA are NEVER reported. Things are WORSE than this page can even say!! SA has gone to the dogs... |

saproudly 8th November 2009 |
Stats are based on incentives of the "expert" providing the stats. We know that between 1990 and 1996 Atlanta (US) under reported all its crimes stats and 22 000 doc on crime went missing. So, it depends how powerful a country you are and which "expert" is brown-nosed by who. |

where+does+the+UN+get+it+statistics? 30th August 2009 |
Where does the U.N. get it's statistics on rape cases? In the case of South Africa does it include the regions or is it only the major cities??? Why are war torn countries not included? Saudi Arabia a fraction of a percent for rape, does it include the number of women who are accused of adultery if they are raped??? thank you... |
