Police Minister Senzo Mchunu released the latest quarterly Crime Statistics on Friday, revealing a 9.8% drop in murder cases, a 3.3% decrease in rape incidents, and a 3.2% decline in attempted sexual offences. Carjackings and robberies both at homes and businesses also saw a notable reduction. However, Mchunu emphasized that gang violence remains a pressing issue, calling for a fresh approach to tackle the problem effectively. “No one should consider themselves to be untouchable. This is also a warning to those who target police in their criminal activities,” Mchunu said. #SouthAfrica #News www.timeslive.co.za
